What Is Zero Trust Network Access?
(ZTNA) Zero Trust Network Access is also known as Software Defined Perimeter (SDP). It is the set of technologies and services or products that create a secure identity and content-based access to the internal application or set of applications for remote users. These applications are invisible from discovery, entry is restricted to the attackers. Trust broker has a set of names and identities. The broker verifies the context, policy of the particular participants, and identity before giving access it also restricts the sideways movement in the network. Application is not visible to the public and it greatly reduces the chance for the attackers.
Zero trust network access never gives access to remote users. It made the secure connection for the private application never expose to the network or app to the internet. Many organizations change their preferences using Zero trust, ZTNA is the scheme to achieve an efficient trust model. The way to the zero-trust model is ambiguous so the Zero trust network access gives a defined and organized framework to follow for the organization. ZTNA is different from the VPN in which VPN gives access to the whole network while ZTNA provides access to the specific applications. The increasing number of users accessing ZTNA assists to remove the gap in other secure remote access methods and technologies.
Working:
After the user is verified from the ZTNA service the access is granted to the resource or application. After the authenticated ZTNA gives access to the users to the application by using an encrypted tunnel that provides extra security to the application and service from the internet protocol address otherwise it would visible.
ZTNA acts as a software-defined perimeter based on the idea of the “dark cloud”. Avoids the visibility of other applications and services that the users are not allowed to access. It also protects from sideways attacks. If the hackers gain access but they would not be able to locate other applications.

It has many clouds security uses such as,
