Universal ZTNA from Cisco overview

Unleash the power of network and security convergence for zero trust that goes wherever business takes you

Secure, compliant use of AI and IoT

See and control the use of gen AI with deep visibility into thousands of apps, with the ability to infer and respond to user intent. Apply precise, context-aware controls to enforce least-privilege access for IoT devices and users.  

Stop impostors and contain identity threats

Stop blind trust between authentication and access. Deliver identity intelligence to continuously verify user behavior and adjust trust, with a single policy engine enabling enforcement across users, devices, and applications.

Any app, any architecture—a single client

Protect access to all your applications, wherever they live and whatever protocols they speak—SaaS-based, legacy, it all just works. Use a single client for ZTNA, VPNaaS, and more for easy access—always.

Reliably great experience, everywhere

From market-leading SD-WAN to highly performant MASQUE and QUIC protocols, your network is responsive, even in lossy conditions. Experience seamless connectivity as users switch networks from branch to home—using hybrid private access.

Top use cases spotlight your priorities

Modernize VPN

Take advantage of pain-free migration from on-premises VPN to cloud-based Universal ZTNA with VPNaaS. Users access apps directly, no more guessing, no more waiting. It just works.

Protect identities

Discover accounts that may be at risk, or pose a risk. Use phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all apps—legacy and modern ones—in a way that frustrates attackers and not users.

Build resilience

Unlock end-to-end visibility from edge to app for faster troubleshooting. Expand your zero trust reach confidently with a unified approach.
