Key benefits of Zero Trust Network Access over corporate VPN access | Kaspersky official blog

Description
This analysis discusses the security challenges associated with traditional VPN access for corporate networks and advocates for adopting Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) as a more secure alternative. VPN gateways are prime targets for attackers, as demonstrated by recent exploits involving zero-day vulnerabilities in Ivanti Connect Secure, Check Point, and SonicWall devices. The widespread shift to remote work has increased exposure due to personal devices and credential theft. VPNs often grant broad network access once authenticated, increasing risk if credentials or gateways are compromised. ZTNA changes the access model to grant users access only to specific applications based on multiple verification factors, reducing attack surfaces and limiting the impact of compromised credentials or devices.
