Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), CARTA and SDP

In this Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), CARTA and SDP training the concepts of Zero Trust and Carta are explained and the implementation with a Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) and Micro-segmentation clarified.

This training is meant for Product Owners, IT managers and IT engineers. You can find a detailed agenda at the end of this page. This webinar is also part of our Masterclass Digital Transformation.

This training is also available as an eLearning module on Springest: study anywhere, anytime using our App (for your mobile and tablet). This is a series of movies and optional questions, but the agenda is equal to the webinar.

The term Zero Trust model was coined by Forrester in 2009. As the name says, everywhere and anytime the highest form of security (authentication, authorization, encryption etc.) must be enforced.

The current network model (perimeter model with a DMZ) does not offer sufficient protection against threats like APT’s (Advanced Persistent Threats) or DDOS attacks. Don’t you think it is strange that the most popular transport protocol is based on: connect first, then authenticate? The IP-address was never meant for authentication, it is very convenient for making a connection. With Zero trust the network is completely dark: unauthenticated you cannot see anything…

Our current network design is based on an assumption that inside the datacenter traffic and applications are trusted. Traffic within a networkzone/VLAN is not filtered. First and second generation (static) firewalls cannot offer the protection we need. Zero Trust offers defence against the “trusted insider” and malware that has infiltrated our network (think of the Solarwinds hack). 80% of security breaches now originate internal to the network…

Continuous adaptive Risk and Trust accessment (CARTA) dictates continuous authentication. Even more important: continous monitoring and assessment of users, devices and applications is pivotal for detecting a threat early. The average “Mean Time To Detect” in the US is 90 days!

You can find the concepts of Zero Trust and CARTA in solutions like Software Defined Perimeter, Micro-segmentation but also CASB en SASE. In this Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), CARTA and SDP training you will learn the architecture of SDP and Micro-segmentation, how it works and how to implement it.
