ZTNA vs VPN

ZTNA reduces exposure and contains threats in a zero trust way that VPNs simply can’t.

Legacy VPNs invite risk by granting wide network access once remote users connect. ZTNA’s zero trust approach is next-gen secure, using identity and context to enable minimum access to only necessary apps and resources. Unlike VPNs, ZTNA security verifies users for every session, limits lateral movement, and conceals internal networks from external exposure. With micro-segmentation, least privilege access, and isolation of threats, ZTNA shrinks the attack surface substantially compared to traditional VPNs. The advantages and differences between ZTNA and VPN are why innovative companies are adopting ZTNA for a modern and more impenetrable remote access architecture.
