In today’s hybrid work environment, people connect from everywhere: offices, homes, airports, and cafés. Many organizations still rely on VPN setups built for a single perimeter. The result is increased risk, inconsistent security policies, poor user experience, and limited visibility.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) takes a different approach. Instead of giving users broad network access, ZTNA gives them access only to specific applications. It checks who the user is, which device they are using, and the context of the request, and then decides if access should be allowed.

At Open Systems, we talk about Universal ZTNA because the same model applies to any user (employees, partners, suppliers), from any location (office, home, OT site) to any application (on-prem or cloud), all through one platform and one policy engine. In other words: one consistent way to control and see who accesses what, instead of many separate VPNs and exceptions.

In this 45-minute webinar, Ivan Rivic, CISO at Open Systems, and Stefan Keller, CPO at Open Systems, will walk through how they are moving beyond VPNs with Universal ZTNA in real environments. They will share what worked, what broke, and what they would do differently if they had to start again.

Key Takeaways for Attendees:

• Why traditional VPNs architectures struggle with today’s hybrid workforce
• What ZTNA is in practice, and where it fits in a modern secure access strategy
• How Open Systems Universal ZTNA enables identity-centric, application-level access across cloud and data centers
• Real-world migration steps, lessons learned pitfalls, and lessons learned from a CISO perspective
