Discover key concepts, best practices, and real-world use cases to better understand Zero Trust and how Chimere fits into your security architecture.
The VPN (Virtual Private Network) and ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) are two technologies used to secure access to IT resources. The VPN, combined with the firewall, is still considered state of the art in some companies. However, ZTNA is beginning to gain a choice spot thanks to its different and more adapted approaches to current threats.
ZTNA, or Zero Trust Network Access, is a security model based on a fundamental principle: never trust by default, always verify. Unlike traditional perimeter security approaches, ZTNA assumes that the network is inherently compromised or vulnerable, and that every user, device, and application must be continuously authenticated, authorized, and monitored.
Chimere can support your compliance with the NIS 2 directive by securing access to critical systems. This security is achieved through strict identity-based control and the principle of least privilege. Chimere continuously verifies each connection, limiting access to sensitive resources and mitigating risks from internal and external threats.
The NIS2 Directive (Network and Information Security Directive) is a legislative framework from the European Union aimed at strengthening cybersecurity requirements for critical infrastructures and essential services in Europe. In response to evolving cyber threats, it broadens its scope to more sectors and mandates stricter protective measures:
