Scenario: A multinational org uses ZTA to enhance security. They collaborate with third-party service providers for remote access to specific resources. How can ZTA policies authenticate third-party users and devices for accessing resources?

ZTA policies can be configured to authenticate third-party users and their devices, determining the necessary access privileges for resources while concealing all other assets to minimize the attack surface.

ZTA policies can implement robust encryption and secure access controls to prevent access to services from stolen devices, ensuring that only legitimate users can access mobile services.

ZTA policies should prioritize securing remote users through technologies like virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and corporate cloud workstation resources to reduce the risk of lateral movement via compromised access controls.
