Extreme UZTNA is important for enhancing cybersecurity because it:
- Reduces the attack surface: By limiting access to only the necessary resources and continuously verifying users and devices, ZTNA minimizes potential entry points for attackers.
- Prevents lateral movement: Even if an attacker gains initial access, ZTNA prevents them from moving laterally across the network by enforcing strict access controls for each resource.
- Adapts to modern IT environments: ZTNA is designed to secure access to both on-premises and cloud-based applications, making it ideal for hybrid and remote work environments.
- Improves incident response: With granular control and visibility over access requests, security teams can quickly identify and respond to suspicious activities.
