Key components of a ZTNA solution include:
- Identity and Access Management (IAM): Ensures user identities are verified and access policies are enforced based on user roles and attributes.
- Device Posture Assessment: Evaluates the security status of devices before granting access to ensure compliance with organizational policies.
- Micro-Segmentation: Divides the network into smaller, isolated segments to apply more precise security controls and limit access.
- Contextual Access Policies: Enforces access policies based on contextual factors such as user location, device type, and behavior.
- Continuous Monitoring: Continuously monitors user and device activity to detect and respond to anomalies in real-time.
