Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) vs Traditional VPN: Securing Hybrid Remote Workers in Nairobi

Never Trust, Always Verify: Ending Full-Network VPN Access

Traditional corporate VPNs grant a connected remote laptop full IP-level access to the entire corporate subnet. If a remote worker's home laptop gets infected with infostealer malware, the attacker has a direct encrypted tunnel into your internal servers. Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) connects users strictly to specific authorized applications (e.g. only the ERP web portal) without ever putting the device on the corporate network.
