Security threats are on the upswing, businesses are hastening digital transformation plans, IT infrastructures are accelerating toward the cloud, and hybrid and remote workforces are the new reality. Enterprises have stepped up efforts to protect an expanding attack surface and the vulnerable access points of corporate-owned devices and BYODs. As a result, zero trust network access (ZTNA), barely on the radar screen as part of an end-user computing (EUC) strategy a short time ago, is now a top-of-mind consideration among IT professionals. Yet, compared to other established EUC strategy components, zero trust deployments in most corporations are just in the early innings.
