    Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) reduces implicit trust zones but falls short of fully achieving Zero Trust principles due to inherent trust between ressource gatways and resources. Expanding trust zones and limited ressource gatway security pose additional challenges. To bridge the gap, organizations must refine trust zones, select transparent solutions, implement safeguards, and adopt micro-segmentation. Achieving true Zero Trust requires continuous evaluation, thoughtful design, and proactive risk management for a robust security architecture.

    Zero Trust is an incremental journey, not a one-time overhaul. Traditional security systems, like firewalls, aren't designed to enforce key Zero Trust principles. Security Service Edge (SSE) addresses these limitations by embedding dynamic and identity-based security controls, reducing trust zones, and allowing secure access from anywhere. SSE is scalable, cost-effective, and future proof, making it essential for any organization adopting Zero Trust. Discover how SSE powers Zero Trust in my latest article.
