Overview

October 24

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) has transformed cybersecurity in recent years, allowing governments to provide access to vital applications from the office, home, field or anywhere else.

But ZTNA is not enough. In today’s ongoing perimeter-less environment, state and local agencies must do more to ensure network security, safeguard government data and protect sensitive constituent information.

ZTNA 2.0 is the next generation of access management and network security. But embracing this new framework can be a heavy lift for public sector IT teams constrained by limited resources and staffing challenges.

That’s where managed services can play a vital role – They help relieve the burden on in-house technology teams and make new cybersecurity capabilities a reality.

On October 24, join us as we explore the key aspects of ZTNA 2.0 – what it means, how it works and how agencies can leverage managed security services to make ZTNA 2.0 a reality. 

We’ll cover topics including:

The 5 pillars of ZTNA 2.0 
Insights and tips for deployment and maintenance 
What questions you should be asking managed service partners about ZTNA 2.0
