Symantec ZTNA

Broadcom Symantec ZTNA is an enterprise cloud-delivered Zero Trust Network Access solution designed to provide secure, context-aware remote access to private enterprise applications hosted in on-premises datacenters, private clouds, and public cloud environments. Engineered to replace legacy hardware VPNs, Symantec ZTNA adheres strictly to the principle of least privilege, granting authorized users access only to specific applications they need—never to the underlying network—thereby eliminating the risk of lateral adversary movement within corporate environments.

The solution provides flexible deployment options, offering both agentless clientless access via modern web browsers for contractors and unmanaged devices, and agent-based access for fully managed corporate workstations. Prior to granting application access, Symantec ZTNA continuously verifies user identity via multi-factor authentication, assesses endpoint device health and compliance posture, and evaluates contextual risk parameters such as geographic location and time of access. Real-time traffic inspection ensures continuous policy enforcement throughout the entire active session, immediately terminating connections if device posture deteriorates.

Symantec ZTNA integrates smoothly into the Symantec Enterprise Cloud suite, connecting natively with Symantec DLP, Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Ping Identity, and SIEM platforms like Splunk. Common enterprise use cases include replacing perimeter VPN concentrators, onboarding third-party contractors and external business partners securely, providing seamless remote work access to private corporate applications, and complying with zero-trust mandates including NIST SP 800-207 and Executive Order 14028. Symantec ZTNA delivers secure, low-latency application access with robust granular governance.
