ZTNA is a capability within Zero Trust Access (ZTA) that controls access to applications. It extends the principles of ZTA to verify users and devices before every application session. ZTNA confirms that they meet the organization’s policy to access that application.

Diagram depicting Fortinet's Universal Zero Trust Network Access architecture. The Universal ZTNA architecture connects users from any location (including campus, branch, and remote locations) to applications in any location (including public clouds, private clouds, and data centers). These connections are controlled by passing through the FortiGate Operating System, which is acting as the ZTNA Application Gateway. The ZTNA Application Gateway is managed by a central policy, for consistent security for all locations.

Fortinet brings Universal ZTNA to the Fortinet Security Fabric

Our unique approach, delivering Universal ZTNA as part of our FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) makes it uniquely flexible, covering users when they are remote or in the office. Universal ZTNA capabilities are automatically enabled on any device or service running FortiOS 7.0 and higher. This includes hardware appliances, virtual machines in clouds, and the FortiSASE service.

A FortiGate and the FortiClient ZTNA agent are all that’s needed to enable more secure access and a better experience for remote users, whether on or off the network.
