Zero Trust

Zero trust architecture diagrams covering ZTNA access flows, identity verification, policy-based access control, and micro-segmentation with F5 XC integration.

Zero Trust Access Flow

Zero trust access flow with device posture check, identity verification, policy evaluation, and proxied application access.

Micro-Segmentation Architecture

Network micro-segmentation with identity-based policies controlling east-west traffic between application tiers.
