Ethernet connects devices in a LAN or WAN to enable communication. Devices with an internal network interface card or an external USB are known as Ethernet devices. The RED or Remote Ethernet Device is a small box-like device deployed to remote sites to establish a VPN to the central Sophos UTM- Unified Threat Management. It helps in the notion that anything connected to the RED can be considered a part of the network.
Highlights
ZTNA is Zero Trust Network Access. The concept of zero trust begins by assuming that any identity (whether human or machine) with access to your network can be compromised. Zero Trust Network Access states that anyone/anything that tries to connect to an organization’s network must be verified and authenticated before granting all sort-of access. Access should also be limited. ZTNA eliminates vulnerable VPN clients, incorporates device health, and removes the absolute trust and broad network access that a VPN provides.
Highlights
