Zero Trust Models

All OpenZiti deployment architectures can be categorized by three types of Zero Trust Edge Access Security Models.

That gives customers a great deal of flexibility in terms of deployment options depending on where they are in the journey to eventually reach the ZiTi Application Access Security Model, i.e most secured.
