White Paper
A Blueprint for Zero Trust Network Access
The Akamai white paper outlines a blueprint for Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), replacing legacy perimeter-based security models that fail in today’s cloud and mobile environments. ZTNA enforces access based on identity, device posture, and context, allowing users only to reach authorized applications—not entire networks. Akamai’s Enterprise Application Access and MFA solutions deliver strong authentication, continuous monitoring, and micro-segmentation to prevent lateral attacks. This approach improves security, performance, and simplifies operations, enabling organizations to protect assets in hybrid, multi-cloud infrastructures while eliminating VPN complexities.
