Consortium | Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) Design

The shift to hybrid work, third-party access, and distributed applications has made traditional perimeter-based access models obsolete — and implicit trust dangerous. A modern Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) architecture eliminates broad network access and replaces it with continuous verification of every identity, device, and application interaction.

ZTNA applies least-privilege access, micro-segmentation, and adaptive authentication to ensure that only the right users reach the right resources — with no lateral movement and no blind spots across multicloud, OT, and remote environments. The result is a resilient access layer that reduces attack surface, improves performance, and supports business agility rather than slowing it down.

Enterprise ZTNA Architecture Blueprint

A complete access architecture that enforces least-privilege design for employees, privileged users, partners, and contractors across hybrid, cloud, and operational technology environments.

Outcome: A strategic ZTNA model that reduces exposure without disrupting productivity.

Reduced VPN Reliance & Lateral Movement

Legacy VPNs extend implicit trust and broaden attack blast radius. ZTNA design collapses trust zones, verifies every request, and localizes access — improving reliability, user experience, and performance while shrinking attack surface.

Outcome: Less risk from compromised accounts and compromised devices, plus fewer access outages.

Standardized ZTNA Patterns for Scale

Reference architectures, policy templates, enforcement patterns, and runbooks that ensure ZTNA is implemented consistently across apps, sites, cloud platforms, and teams — not reinvented every time.

Outcome: Faster rollout, easier administration, and predictable compliance across the enterprise.

Architecture-Aligned, Not Product-Driven

Leverages what you already own

ZTNA is tuned to your existing identity, endpoint, and network platforms — maximizing adoption and minimizing disruption instead of forcing tool replacement.

Use Cases Prioritized for Real-World Pain

Buy-in from day one

We tackle high-value access scenarios first (privileged users, third parties, critical apps) so teams see meaningful wins early and accelerate organizational adoption.
