Topics to reflect on internally when considering a new product or solution.

Organizations need to decide whether to deploy ZTNA solutions in the cloud, on-premises, or adopt a hybrid deployment model based on their specific requirements, security policies, and existing infrastructure.

Integrations allow ZTNA solutions to interface with existing infrastructure, security tools, and identity management systems, enhancing their effectiveness and extending their capabilities. By integrating with identity and access management (IAM) solutions, endpoint security platforms, cloud services, and other security technologies, ZTNA solutions can leverage existing investments, streamline operations, and improve overall security posture.

Understanding the vendor's approach to Zero Trust principles and adherence to security best practices, such as regular security updates, compliance certifications, and vulnerability management processes, helps ensure that the ZTNA solution is aligned with industry standards and best practices.
