Take the Zero Trust Approach

Zero trust has become a major focus area for the U.S. government in the last few years. An executive order issued by President Biden in May 2021 included the use of zero-trust architecture to strengthen federal government computer systems and networks.

Sophos Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) removes implicit trust from your applications, end-users, and devices and allows you to segment access across your systems and resources. It constantly validates your users, devices, and policy compliance before granting access to your applications and data.

With Sophos ZTNA, you can use a single-agent, single-console, single-vendor solution for both ZTNA and your next-gen endpoint protection. Sophos ZTNA integrates with Sophos Intercept X, and they constantly share status and health information with each other to automatically isolate compromised systems and prevent threats from moving across your systems and stealing your data.
