Today, the product team is pleased to announce the start to the Early Access Program (EAP) for Sophos Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA).  ZTNA is our new Sophos Central, cloud-delivered, cloud-managed product that makes it easy to securely connect users to applications.  ZTNA provides a great alternative to remote access VPN, offering greater control, better security, and easier management.

This first phase of the early access program offers clientless access to browser-based applications such as Wiki’s, Jira, CRM, support systems and more.  It includes support for Azure Active Directory for identity and a VMware ESXi virtual gateway for protecting on-premise web-based applications.

The next phase of the EAP will add additional functionality including Windows client support with integrated deployment alongside Intercept X, Synchronized Security for device health, additional Identity providers, and a gateway for AWS.

If you have any questions about Sophos ZTNA: what it is, what the benefits are, and how it compares to other technologies, be sure to check our extensive FAQ or watch our SophSkills session on-demand.
