Description

Unlock the power of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and learn how to implement a modern, secure network architecture using OpenZiti in this comprehensive, hands-on lab course. This course is perfect for IT professionals, network administrators, and cybersecurity enthusiasts seeking to deepen their understanding of Zero Trust principles and how they can be applied in real-world environments.Zero Trust is a security model that assumes no entity, whether inside or outside the network, should be trusted by default. This approach is vital in today’s threat landscape, where traditional perimeter defenses no longer provide adequate protection. With OpenZiti, an open-source, cloud-native platform, you will learn to build secure, scalable, and flexible network access solutions that eliminate the need for traditional VPNs, allowing you to enforce strict, identity-based access policies.This course provides not only the theoretical knowledge behind Zero Trust but also deep, practical insights into how to implement and maintain ZTNA using OpenZiti. You will leave with a hands-on understanding of how to secure modern IT environments against increasingly sophisticated threats and how to ensure your organization’s data, resources, and applications are protected at all times.By the end of the course, you will be proficient in applying Zero Trust security principles using OpenZiti and will have the skills to enhance network security, simplify access management, and reduce the risks associated with unauthorized access. Whether you're looking to implement a zero-trust strategy for your organization or advance your cybersecurity expertise, this course will equip you with the tools and knowledge to succeed
