Accelerate Your Zero Trust Initiatives Today

Zero Trust Network Access is a Zero Trust security model designed to replace the broad access of traditional VPNs. ZTNA enforces Zero Trust principles by authenticating user identity and device health, applying least-privilege access, and providing secure, segmented connections to specific apps or workloads. This Zero Trust approach minimizes the attack surface, prevents unauthorized access, and supports modern use cases such as remote work and multi-cloud deployments.

Tufin complements ZTNA by aligning firewall and network security policies with Zero Trust solutions, ensuring access controls are enforced consistently across hybrid infrastructures.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) provides secure access to applications and workloads without exposing the broader organization’s network. Instead of relying on a VPN and a trusted network perimeter, ZTNA enforces never trust, always verify principles. Access is granted only after validating user identity, device health, and context such as location or role. ZTNA then creates a secure, segmented connection directly to the application, reducing the attack surface and preventing unauthorized access.

Tufin integrates ZTNA concepts with network segmentation and firewall automation, ensuring access aligns with centralized security policies and workflows across hybrid and cloud environments.

• Least privilege: Grant only the permissions needed for a specific task or user access scenario
• Continuous monitoring: Track network traffic, endpoints, and user identity in real time
• Microsegmentation: Break down the network into smaller zones to stop lateral movement
• Strong authentication: Require MFA, validation of devices, and strict access controls
• Automation and workflows: Enforce security policies, detect cyber threats, and remediate vulnerabilities without delay
• Threat intelligence: Use context from APIs and tools to block cyberattacks before they impact sensitive data

Tufin provides the policy foundation for Zero Trust architecture by automating firewall and network security controls, helping organizations apply Zero Trust principles consistently across on-premises, multi-cloud, and SaaS environments.

• Assess security posture: Map your organization’s network, workloads, and cloud environments to identify vulnerabilities and gaps.
• Define access policies: Base them on least privilege, user identity, and access management best practices.
• Strengthen authentication: Require multi-factor authentication and validate every access request.
• Implement network segmentation: Use microsegmentation and firewall rules to restrict lateral movement.
• Automate enforcement: Deploy tools that enforce security policies, optimize workflows, and provide real-time threat intelligence.
• Continuously monitor: Track network traffic, detect phishing or cyber threats, and adapt security measures over time.

Tufin supports Zero Trust strategies by providing centralized visibility and automation for firewall and access control policies, reducing complexity while improving cybersecurity posture.

Zero Trust is critical because traditional security models that rely on a strong network perimeter are ineffective in today’s multi-cloud and remote access world. Cyber threats such as phishing, malware, and data breaches exploit vulnerabilities in endpoints, workloads, and APis. A zero trust strategy applies never trust, always verify principles, reducing attack surface and enforcing strict access controls.

Tufin enables organizations to operationalize zero trust by automating security measures, aligning firewall and access policies, and giving security teams centralized control to protect sensitive data and prevent cyberattacks.

• User identity and access management: Strict access controls, MFA, and validation for every access request
• Device and endpoint security: Ensure endpoints meet defined security posture requirements before granting access
• Network segmentation: Apply microsegmentation and firewall rules to contain lateral movement
• Data protection: Safeguard sensitive data in cloud environments, saas, and on-premises systems with strong security measures
• Continuous monitoring and automation: Use threat intelligence, real-time detection, and automated workflows to remediate vulnerabilities and stop cyber threats

Tufin strengthens all five pillars by automating and centralizing network security and access policies, enabling organizations to enforce Zero Trust principles consistently across hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures.

Traditional security models assumed that anything inside the private network was trusted, relying on VPNs, firewalls, and the network perimeter for protection. Once inside, users often had broad permissions, making lateral movement easy for attackers.

Zero trust security is based on never trust, always verify. Every access request is validated in real time using user identity, least privilege, and multi-factor authentication. Continuous monitoring, network segmentation, and strong security controls ensure attackers cannot easily move through the organization’s network.

Tufin helps organizations adopt this Zero Trust approach by automating the enforcement of granular security policies across multi-cloud, on-premises, and SaaS environments.

A Zero Trust policy could require that every access request to an application or workload is validated in real-time based on user identity, device health, and least-privilege access rules.

For example, a remote employee connecting to a cloud-based SaaS tool must use multi-factor authentication and meet defined security posture requirements before access is granted. Policies can also enforce microsegmentation, limiting lateral movement between apps, IoT devices, or data center resources.

Tufin enables security teams to translate Zero Trust principles into enforceable firewall and network security rules. By automating security policies and continuously monitoring them across multi-cloud and on-premises environments, organizations ensure permissions are granted only where necessary.
