Last month, I worked with a financial services company that had spent eighteen months evaluating ZTNA solutions. They\u2019d built requirements documents, conducted vendor demos and mapped their application inventory. But when it came time to deploy, they hit a wall.<\/p>\n<p>The problem wasn\u2019t technology. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/doc\/reprints?id=1-2L1V48AF&amp;ct=250521&amp;st=sb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gartner\u2019s Magic Quadrant<\/a> shows vendors like Palo Alto Networks, Netskope and Zscaler have mature platforms. The problem was that implementing these solutions required untangling years of VPN configurations, documenting legacy application dependencies and coordinating with stretched application teams.<\/p>\n<p>What struck me was hearing their CISO say, \u201cWe bought this ZTNA platform for intelligent, automated access control. Instead, we\u2019re spending more time on manual policy creation than with our old VPN.\u201d That\u2019s when I realized we\u2019re dealing with a deeper issue than technology selection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What I\u2019m seeing in zero-trust deployments The real story isn\u2019t in the survey data \u2014 it\u2019s in the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":231232,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[691,738,158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-231231","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-technology","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115213735272727818","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=231231"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231231\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/231232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=231231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=231231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=231231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
