Traditional VPNs rely on a central gateway, creating a significant risk as a single point of failure. If this gateway goes down, all connected users lose access to the network. Moreover, public endpoints are vulnerable to exploitation by malicious actors, potentially exposing all resources. In contrast, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) provides point-to-point connectivity with no open ports, offering more reliable and secure remote access.

During this workshop, Bren will guide you through the core concepts of Zero Trust, from addressing modern cybersecurity challenges to implementing ZTNA for secure remote access to AWS resources.

You’ll learn how to apply granular security controls to AWS resources, deploy a connector to close open ports and reduce the attack surface, and continuously assess the security landscape to protect your cloud infrastructure from both internal and external threats.
