Gartner®: 7 Effective Steps for Implementing Zero Trust Network Access

Industry Analyst Report

Gartner predicts that by 2025, at least 70% of new remote access deployments will be served predominantly by ZTNA as opposed to VPN services, up from less than 10% at the end of 2021.*

ZTNA presents an appealing upgrade over VPNs for remote access, delivering reduced risk, reduced costs and a first step towards SASE. However, organizations need to apply a disciplined methodology to achieve a successful implementation; ZTNA is not a simple stand up and walk away technology.

This Gartner® report offers a practical, continuous life cycle approach and examines the recommended key stages of a ZTNA deployment:

  1. "Define objective and scope with business leaders"
  2. "Align business objectives with zero trust strategies"
  3. "Focus on appropriate access"
  4. "Document and map application usage"
  5. "Clean up access to applications and tune policies"
  6. "Prepare for operational overheads and complexity"
  7. "Validate access controls and resource isolation"
