FEATURE : NETWORK SECURITY
Zero Trust Network Access ( ZTNA ) platforms are pivotal in this regard as they encompass a comprehensive approach to security .
Moreover , Identity and Access Management ( IAM ), including Identity Governance and Administration ( IGA ), Access Management ( AM ) and Privileged Access Management ( PAM ) play an indispensable role in fortifying the Zero Trust framework .
Conventional cybersecurity paradigms lean heavily on perimeter defences , confining security measures to network boundaries .
However , with the rise of telehealth and the increased adoption of cloud computing , the inadequacies of this static approach to cybersecurity have become evident .
Zero Trust Network Access introduces a paradigm shift of prioritising continuous identity verification and authorisation irrespective of a user ’ s location .
This dynamic approach underscores the essence of Zero Trust , where trust is never assumed and access is meticulously validated at every interaction point .
Zero Trust architecture has rapidly become the foundation of modern cybersecurity , with secure networking and identity security as the cornerstone which establishes secure tunnels between users and applications .
