Transform Enterprise Security With Advanced Network Access Control Solutions

By Mike Thweatt | Nov 19, 2024

Imagine managing a large party in your home, where guests arrive unpredictably through different entryways. You can’t just lock the front door and call it secure. Instead, you need to keep track of everyone who enters, ensure they’re supposed to be there, and monitor the activity inside. In the same way, businesses face the complex challenge of managing network security across an expansive digital landscape. With remote work, a rise in connected devices, and growing cyber threats, ensuring effective business network security now resembles organizing a secure, multi-room event with hundreds — if not thousands — of “guests.”

Meaningful Cybersecurity Requires ZTNA, Not VPN

By Michael Thweatt | May 26, 2022

Our review of 2021 IT trends reported that Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) was not only a common feature for enterprise IT teams, but that it will be sticking around for the near future, too. Much of this is attributed to shifting remote work architectures, which have made traditional perimeter security architectures essentially outdated. As organizations move away from a full-on remote workforce and into more of a hybrid model, ZTNA features remain just as important.
