Abstract
Infrastructure for zero trust network access (ZTNA) is deployed as a cloud-based service remotely from a customer premises where user applications are hosted. By connecting an appliance on the customer premises to the cloud-based service through a secure tunnel or the like, an application hosted on the customer premises can then be accessed externally as a ZTNA application without the customer premises opening a firewall to public networks or otherwise exposing potential attack surfaces to the customer premises.
