Zero Trust Network Access doesn’t need to be complicated. At its core, ZTNA solutions are built on a simple philosophy: Never Trust, Always Verify.
Portnox delivers fast, frictionless, and cloud-native ZTNA that adapts to any user, device, or location. Unlike VPNs, which rely on implicit trust, Portnox ZTNA ensures every request is continuously verified before granting application access.
| VPN | ZTNA Solutions |
|---|---|
| Broad network access once authenticated | Application-specific access only |
| No device posture verification | Continuous endpoint checks |
| High latency, poor scalability | Cloud-native and elastic |
| Visible internal infrastructure | Applications remain hidden |
Old school security worked like a castle protected by a moat—if you can cross the drawbridge, you’re in! However, ZTNA flips that model: no one is trusted automatically, whether you are inside or outside. Portnox plays a critical role in helping you achieve zero trust network security—keeping your “castle”, or network, open only to those who are permitted to be there.
Eliminate implicit trust across your network. Whether it’s a laptop, a FitBit, or anything else trying to connect, Portnox ZTNA enforces secure, consistent, cloud-native access control—across every device, location, and connection.
Staying ahead in IT means strengthening cybersecurity—and zero trust architectures now lead the charge. But let’s face it: embracing zero trust can feel daunting. With so many tools and complexities, it’s easy to lose your way.
To understand how organizations navigate zero trust, Portnox teamed up with TechTarget. We surveyed hundreds of IT and cybersecurity professionals across North America. Discover the insights we uncovered in our Trends in Zero Trust report.

Portnox Cloud’s ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) delivers application-level access instead of granting users broad network connectivity like a VPN. Before connecting, Portnox verifies the user’s identity, device posture, and contextual risk—ensuring access is least-privilege and only to the specific applications required. This reduces attack surface, prevents lateral movement, and eliminates the inherent trust that VPNs grant once connected.
Yes. Portnox Cloud ZTNA integrates with leading identity providers and existing access policies, allowing you to extend current authentication and conditional access logic to private applications. By combining identity signals with device posture and risk evaluation, Portnox enables consistent zero trust enforcement without replacing your identity stack, centralizing policy decisions while strengthening security.
