In today's fast-changing cybersecurity world, traditional security methods are no longer enough. The shift to remote work and more cloud use have shown weaknesses in old security approaches. Zero Trust Application Access (ZTAA) uses a "never trust, always verify" approach.
This session will cover the basics of ZTAA, how to put it into practice in businesses, and important points for building and deploying applications with respect to this strategy. Focusing on authentication, device security, encryption, and applications security, ZTAA offers a solid way to handle today’s cybersecurity issues.
Key takeaway
You'll learn how to deploy Zero Trust Application Access (ZTAA) in small and large businesses and how to build applications according to ZTAA.
