Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) | Check Point SASE

Application-Level Secure Remote Access

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) connects workforces to resources they need based on identity, device, and context.

ZTNA Benefits at a Glance

Zero Trust Network Access is an advanced approach to network security with continuous verification, and granular permissions that embrace the concept of least-privilege access.

Least Privilege Access

Control user access at the app level, not the network level.

Continuous Risk Verification

Validate users and devices in real time.

Agentless Options for Unmanaged Devices

Reduce security risks with specialized access to applications for unmanaged devices.

Device Posture Enforcement

Block risky or non-compliant endpoints before access.

Global PoPs, Minimal Latency

Over 80+ points of presence keeps access fast and local reducing bottlenecks.

Cloud-Native Simplicity

Build seamless remote access on top of existing appliance infrastructure for global teams.

Secure Traffic Across Any Network, Anywhere

Protect user connections across public, private, and hybrid networks with consistent policy enforcement and secure traffic inspection. Whether users are in the office, at home, or on the move, security travels with them—without compromising performance.

Customized Access Policy for Users and Their Devices

Set access rules by application for individual users or groups, with authentication enforced via identity providers.

Integrate Security into Every Environment

When their companies rely heavily on the cloud, and encourage remote work and BYOD, a primary concern for IT is complexity and reduced visibility into network activity and access. Check Point’s SASE integrates with all your various solutions and services for total network awareness.

Boost resource Availability for Remote Workers

Now that the traditional network perimeter is gone and access occurs further away from network resources, it’s time to bring resources closer to where they’re needed. Private network gateways limit latency and boost speeds for productive and agile remote work no matter where your employees are located.

Reduce Attack Surface

Secure your environment against lateral movement with per-app access policies based on user identity and device posture.

Secure Access for the Cloud and Beyond

Protect and monitor access to on-prem and cloud resources seamlessly integrating with major providers such as Google, Azure, and AWS.

Zero Trust Access Is Secure Access

Zero Trust Network Access is the modern organization’s answer to poor network visibility, security tool sprawl, and dangerous access policies.

Audited and Monitored

Integrated with major SIEM providers including Check Point Infinity events for seamless auditing and compliance.

Least-Privilege Access

With ZTNA, resource access is dependent on the role and device of the user, reducing the attack surface significantly and making it easy for IT to apply relevant policies to newly onboarded resources and employees.

Unified Network Security

Reduce the number of solutions that your IT team needs to orchestrate and onboard with Check Point’s SASE. From a single admin panel, manage access, segment the network, and enforce MFA and device posture for all users.

Comprehensive Audit Trails

Gain full visibility into user activities and security events to accelerate forensic investigations and support incident response.

FAQs

What is Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)?

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is a security model that provides identity-based, least-privilege access to specific applications and resources. Instead of granting broad network connectivity, ZTNA evaluates access requests based on user identity, device posture, and contextual factors such as location or role, and limits users to only the applications they are authorized to access. By enforcing application-level access and isolating resources, ZTNA reduces attack surface, prevents lateral movement, and improves visibility into user activity across distributed and cloud environments.

How does ZTNA differ from traditional VPN solutions?

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) differs from traditional VPN solutions in both architecture and security model. Traditional VPNs create full-network tunnels that grant authenticated users broad access to the corporate network, often exposing internal resources and enabling lateral movement if credentials are compromised. ZTNA, in contrast, provides application-level access based on identity, device posture, and context, connecting users only to the specific applications they are authorized to use while keeping internal networks hidden. This reduces attack surface, limits the impact of compromised accounts, and delivers more granular control and visibility than perimeter-based VPN architectures.

Can ZTNA secure access for remote employees and contractors?

Yes, ZTNA is designed to securely support remote employees, contractors, partners, and BYOD users by granting application-level access based on identity and device context rather than providing broad network connectivity. Instead of exposing internal networks, ZTNA connects each user only to the specific applications they are authorized to access, reducing risk and preventing lateral movement. Within the Check Point SASE platform, Check Point SASE Private Access delivers Zero Trust access to on-premises and cloud resources through multiple methods. Agent-based access supports managed devices using the SASE agent and the global SASE network. Agentless access enables secure connections through a web portal for employee-owned and third-party devices. Enterprise Browser, as an extension of agentless access, installs just like any other browser but creates a secure environment for accessing corporate data that is separated from the rest of the device, providing deeper Zero Trust controls for unmanaged devices.

How does it integrate with identity and access management systems?

Check Point SASE Private Access integrates with enterprise identity and access management systems to enforce identity-based Zero Trust policies. It connects with corporate identity providers using protocols such as SAML and OpenID Connect, supporting integrations with platforms including Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory), Okta, and other enterprise IAM solutions. Identity and group attributes from the provider are used to define granular, application-level access rules, ensuring least-privilege access based on user role and context. All access policies are centrally managed through the Check Point Portal, providing consistent enforcement and visibility across on-premises and cloud environments.

What industries benefit most from ZTNA?

ZTNA is ideal for industries with high compliance and security requirements, such as:
