What are zero trust security solutions?

Zero Trust security solutions are a modern approach to cybersecurity that assumes no user or device can be trusted by default. Instead of relying on a traditional network perimeter, Zero Trust continuously verifies identity, access, and behavior before allowing connections to applications or data. It follows three simple principles: never trust, always verify, least-privilege access, and continuous verification to reduce risk and limit the impact of breaches. This approach is more effective than traditional security models, which often trust users once they’re inside the network and struggle to protect today’s distributed, cloud-based environments.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is the access enforcement technology at the core of a Zero Trust strategy. By verifying every user, device, and session before granting access to specific applications - never the full network. ZTNA replaces implicit-trust models like VPN and becomes the foundation for secure access in cloud and hybrid environments.

Protect your distributed teams, wherever they work

Remote work, the growth of BYOD, employee mobility, and the use of cloud-based applications are all on the rise, and perimeter-based security just isn’t enough to protect your enterprise in this new, hyper-distributed era. SonicWall believes that the security perimeter must follow wherever humans work and extend to wherever the assets reside.

Cloud Edge Secure Access, Cloud-Delivered Zero Trust

Deploy cloud-native zero trust access without the overhead of on-premises infrastructure. Cloud Secure Edge delivers ZTNA-as-a-service — controlling access to applications for both managed and unmanaged devices based on identity, location, and device posture. As SonicWall's SSE platform, CSE extends protection beyond access to include secure web gateway and cloud application controls, all from a single cloud-delivered service.

Features & Benefits of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)

Verify User & Device Identities

ZTNA's stringent verification is based on user credentials, access time and device compliance to allow fast, simple access to business applications and data.

Least-Access Privilege Policies

ZTNA removes excessive implicit trust. Users can access only what is needed to do their job, and nothing more. No over-privileged users are allowed.

Micro-Segmentation

Use microsegmentation to define internal trust boundaries and granularly control traffic flow, securing the infrastructure by reducing the attack surface and preventing lateral threats from spreading.

Always-On Application

Reconnect a user or device to the application or a set of applications without re-login and re-authentication.

Configuration Simplicity

Support easy-to-configure access policies. One single policy manages users, devices, applications, data and networks.

Modern Authentication Support

Add broad support for Identity Providers (IdP), SAML-based single-sign-on (SSO) and multifactor authentication (MFA) services from Okta, OneLogin, G Suite, Azure, and Duo Security.

Monitor User & Device Continuously

Continuously monitor user and device behavior, with enforcement applied at each login or after a set period. It is entirely customizable.

Managed Device or Unmanaged BYOD

Increase productivity with support for diverse mobile devices and agent-less browser access from any public device.

Common Use Cases for Zero Trust Security Solutions

Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) supports a wide range of use cases by securing access based on identity, context, and continuous verification, rather than network location. Together, these use cases show how Zero Trust enables consistent, adaptable security across users, applications, and devices in modern, distributed environments. Organizations commonly apply Zero Trust in the following scenarios:

Remote Workforce Security

Enable secure access for remote and hybrid users without relying on implicit trust. Zero Trust verifies users and devices before granting access, helping protect applications and data from anywhere.

SaaS Application Protection

Control and monitor access to cloud-based applications using identity-aware policies. Zero Trust helps reduce the risk of data loss, account compromise, and unauthorized access to business-critical SaaS tools.

Third‑Party and Vendor Access

Provide partners and contractors with secure, limited access to specific applications or resources, without exposing the internal network. Access is tightly scoped and continuously validated.

Cloud Workload Security

Protect cloud-hosted applications and workloads by enforcing identity-based access and preventing lateral movement. Zero Trust ensures only authorized users and services can connect.
