Zero Trust Network Access Design

Consortium’s Zero Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA) service helps customers develop a strategic blueprint for a security framework that enforces continuous verification of users, devices, and applications before granting access to resources. By eliminating the traditional notion of a trusted internal network, ZTNA applies the principles of least privilege, micro-segmentation, and strong identity authentication.

The design integrates technologies such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), identity and access management (IAM), encryption, and continuous monitoring to ensure secure communication across all network layers.

Through this integration, a ZTNA design establishes a resilient, adaptive, and policy-driven environment that minimizes attack surfaces, prevents unauthorized access, and strengthens overall cybersecurity posture. The process begins with an evaluation of your current or proposed Zero Trust Network Architecture, aligning it with industry best practices and emerging Zero Trust trends, followed by a prioritized action plan detailing recommendations to enhance and optimize your Zero Trust implementation.

Enterprise ZTNA Architecture Blueprint

A comprehensive architecture that enforces least-privilege access for workforce, privileged users, and third parties across hybrid, multicloud, and OT environments.

Reduced VPN Reliance & Lateral Movement

Minimizes legacy VPN reliance and collapses implicit trust zones — improving reliability, performance, and user experience while shrinking attack surface.

Standardized ZTNA Patterns for Scale

Reference architectures, policy patterns, and runbooks that enable repeatable and scalable Zero Trust delivery across sites, apps, and teams.

Zero Trust programs fail when they rely solely on tools. Consortium designs ZTNA to work with identity, endpoint, and network investments you already have — not as a rip-and-replace strategy. We prioritize high-impact use cases first so teams see early wins and adoption grows naturally. And through MTM®, ZTNA outcomes are quantified in financial terms executives care about.

Here’s how our approach delivers more than a typical “Zero Trust roadmap”:

Architecture-Aligned, Not Product-Driven

Leverages what you already own

ZTNA is designed to sit on top of your existing identity, endpoint, and network technology — maximizing value instead of forcing tool replacement.

Use Cases Prioritized for Real-World Pain

Buy-in from day one

We focus on high-impact access scenarios — contractors, privileged users, remote plants, critical apps — to drive meaningful wins early and accelerate adoption.

Outcomes Measured With MTM®

Value leadership can defend

MTM® quantifies how ZTNA impacts access risk, incident likelihood, and organizational exposure in financial terms leadership can track over time.

Modernize Access. Minimize Risk. Eliminate Implicit Trust.
