ZTNA provides point-to-point connectivity at the application level, cloaking all resources from the end-user devices and the internet. The network-level attack surface is entirely removed, leaving no room for lateral movement and network-based threats. Its simple-to-set, fine-grained and easy-to-manage access and activity policies prevent unauthorized access to the corporate resources by implementing continuous, contextual (user, device and resource-based context) authorization to enterprise applications allowing secured employee, partners and BYOD access.

Minimize deployment hassle and ongoing maintenance with ZTNA. It can be installed through an agent or agentless, there are no appliances to deploy, or complex policies to manage. Delivered as-a-service, ZTNA dynamically scales up or down, for all of your users, applications, workloads and servers. Gain true elasticity of your computing resources while supporting the dynamic, distributed nature of your modern enterprise.

• Deploy in minutes with no agents or appliances required
• Symantec customers can instantly deploy ZTNA throughout the organization using already installed Symantec agents
• Reduce TCO by removing the need to manage legacy appliances and complex network-level policies
• Allow seamless user experience where users continue using their native tools
• Deploy in private cloud, AWS, Azure or Google Cloud infrastructures
• Easily integrate with corporate IdP, multi-factor authentication, SIEM and other IT/Security components
• Demonstrate compliance with a globally distributed and certified service (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, etc.)

ZTNA takes access policies further with activity monitoring and enforcement. The exact actions a specific user/group can perform in a specific application can be defined through its granular activity policies. Every user action performed at the application-level is monitored and logged ¡V including URLs accessed and SSH commands executed.

By limiting network-level access and providing least-privilege, user and device-based access to production, staging and development environments, ZTNA lets DevOps securely manage their dynamic infrastructures while continuing to use their native tools. With ZTNA, DevOps can centrally manage SSH keys and monitor user¡¦s sessions while allowing Just-in-Time and Just-Enough Access to the environments. ZTNA¡¦s API-driven platform enables DevOps to easily integrate with CI/CD, Infrastructure-as-Code and other solutions.

• Limit network access to production environments, to avoid malicious or accidental damage, without maintaining VPN agents or gateways
• Centrally manage sensitive keys in order to maintain key hygiene (regular rotation, encryption standards, users onboarding/offboarding, etc.) and quickly address compromise scenarios
• Provide DevOps with limited, authorized and audited access to dynamic environments, without performing manual operations
• Enforce JIT and JEA to any resource without agents or appliances
• Natively integrate with public cloud platforms
