ZTNA can’t go the Zero Trust distance on its own.

What’s inside the eBook:

Why ZTNA is a strong start—but not enough to cross the Zero Trust finish line
Where roadblocks appear when access control is the only control
The operational and security pitfalls of standalone ZTNA solutions in fragmented architectures—slowing performance and multiplying risk
What real Zero Trust requires beyond access, and how to accelerate the journey with a converged, cloud-native SASE platform
How organizations are pulling ahead—gaining speed, uptime, and efficiency by making Zero Trust operational

Summary

ZTNA has raced ahead as organizations replace aging VPNs and pursue a Zero Trust model. But ZTNA stops at access control—and that’s where risk starts.

On its own, ZTNA can’t inspect traffic, detect and respond to threats, enforce consistent policies, or prevent lateral network movement if a breach happens. It solves access—but not visibility, context, or control. As a standalone solution, it leaves enterprises with fragmented security, frustrated users, and blind spots that attackers love.

To operationalize Zero Trust, ZTNA must be converged with inspection, prevention, analytics, and performance—delivered through a unified, cloud-native platform architecture.

Don’t Stop at ZTNA
