Gartner® Report: Market Guide for Zero Trust Network Access

Zero Trust is growing, with organizations looking to Zero trust network access (ZTNA) to reduce risk and securely support their extended workforces.

As per a Gartner forecast assumption, we estimate 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 2021.¹

ZTNA brokers connections between authorized users and specific private applications, granting Zero Trust access based on context such as identity, device and content. Unlike VPNs, ZTNA solutions such as Zscaler Private Access™ deliver application access without network access and make applications invisible to the open internet.

This market guide for ZTNA includes key findings and recommendations to help IT and security leaders kick-start ZTNA as part of a security service edge (SSE) strategy. Take a look to get the Gartner overview of:

• The ZTNA market and how it’s evolving

• Key findings and recommendations

• Benefits, risks and use-cases of ZTNA
