Zero Trust Network Access products replace traditional VPNs by providing application-specific access based on user identity, device posture, and context rather than network-level connectivity. ZTNA products verify trust continuously and grant access to specific applications rather than entire network segments. Products include Zscaler Private Access, Cloudflare Access, Palo Alto Prisma Access, and Akamai Enterprise Application Access.
ZTNA adoption is accelerating as organizations retire VPNs and implement zero trust architectures. Security engineers deploy and configure ZTNA solutions. Security architects design the migration from VPN to ZTNA. Understanding ZTNA products and their integration with identity providers and device management platforms is increasingly required for network security roles.
