Safeguarding your wireless network from cyber threats
Since the introduction of Zero Trust Architecture, detailed in NIST Special Publication 800-207, RUCKUS Networks has developed a number of solutions that aid IT administrators in building a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) security framework. To support the ZTNA principle of "never trust, always verify," RUCKUS delivers a comprehensive suite of technologies that protect user access at every layer of the network.
For example, Dynamic PSK™ (pre-shared keys) technology—(DPSK and DPSK3) ™—offers unique, per-user credentials, eliminating the risks of shared passwords. By supporting the latest WPA3-SAE standard, DPSK3™ provides modern, enterprise-grade Wi-Fi security while giving IT teams fine-grained visibility and control over individual device connections.
RUCKUS One®, our cloud -native platform, integrates Identity management and adaptive policy to dynamically enforce access rules based on user roles, device posture, and real-time context. This helps users access only the applications and data they are authorized for—supporting micro-segmentation at the policy level.
At the transport layer, RUCKUS Edge™ extends ZTNA through micro-segmentation transport, enabling the isolation of traffic between users, devices, and applications, without exposing the broader network. Combined with secure onboarding and real-time monitoring, this architecture delivers end-to-end Zero Trust enforcement across distributed environments.

Five pillars of Zero Trust
Verify every user and device—continuously and intelligently
The first pillar of ZTNA is strong identity verification. RUCKUS enables IT teams to authenticate users and devices through certificate-based credentials and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), reducing exposure to credential-based threats. Leveraging AI and machine learning, our platform provides real-time visibility and adaptive policy enforcement for continuous verification across the network.
Control device access with automated policy enforcement
For the second pillar, ZTNA focuses on enforcing consistent security policies across all devices. RUCKUS enables IT teams to automatically validate devices and control access based on identity, posture, and behavior. Advanced analytics and real-time visibility into device health offer proactive threat detection and compliance with security standards.
Segment the network and enforce identity-based traffic control
Micro-segmentation to prevent lateral movement and enforce least privilege access makes up the third pillar of ZTNA. With RUCKUS Edge, organizations can create transport-layer micro-segments that isolate users, devices, and applications. Integrated identity management helps tie segmentation policies to user roles and device posture. This approach enables precise control, real-time traffic visibility, and rapid anomaly detection—strengthening your defense against internal and external threats.
Secure and control application access
The fourth pillar of ZTNA enables only authorized users to access critical applications. For example, by leveraging RUCKUS Edge for micro-segmentation combined with adaptive policy, IT teams can enforce granular, application-specific access controls and continuously monitor user interactions. This dynamic approach detects and mitigates potential threats in real time, protecting sensitive workloads and enhancing overall network security.
Data safety through encryption and continuous protection
The final pillar of ZTNA focuses on safeguarding sensitive data using strong encryption, strict access controls, and continuous monitoring. By encrypting critical information and enforcing rigorous policies, organizations prevent unauthorized access and data leaks—helping the network securely handle even the most confidential communications.
Advantages of a multi-vendor approach to ZTA
Enhanced security and risk reduction
By adopting a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) that assumes no inherent trust between network components, overall security is strengthened and single points of failure are minimized. Leveraging a diverse range of products and technologies makes it significantly harder for attackers to exploit vulnerabilities.
Resilience and flexibility
Partnering with multiple vendors enables IT teams to adapt quickly to evolving security threats by deploying diverse policies and technologies. This approach also reduces reliance on a single vendor’s patch management and mitigation strategies, enhancing overall network resilience.
Defense-in-depth strategy
Using a multi-vendor environment creates layered security that avoids reliance on a single vendor’s solutions. This diversity helps ensure that vulnerabilities in one vendor’s products do not compromise the entire network, strengthening overall defense.

Embracing Zero Trust for network security
Traditional network security models can’t keep up with today’s sophisticated cyber threats. Zero Trust is a transformative approach that assumes no user or device—inside or outside the network—is inherently trustworthy, enforcing strict verification and continuous monitoring to protect critical assets.
RUCKUS Networks Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA)
Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) is essential in today’s landscape of escalating cyber threats. However, securing your network requires a comprehensive approach—beyond just adding software or hardware—to effectively enforce strict access controls, continuous verification, and adaptive security policies.
Network segmentation: Enhancing security and performance
Network segmentation is the practice of dividing a large network into multiple smaller logical networks, or segments. Networks are segmented for a few reasons, but primarily this happens to improve either network security or user experience.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
Zero Trust is a transformative security model that operates on the principle of “never trust, always verify.” It assumes that no user or device—whether inside or outside the network perimeter—is inherently trustworthy, requiring continuous authentication and strict access controls to protect resources.
Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), as defined in NIST Special Publication 800-207, is a framework that integrates Zero Trust principles into an organization’s network. It minimizes the attack surface by enforcing granular access controls and continuously monitoring network activity to detect and respond to threats.
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is a security model that enforces strict identity verification and access controls for every user and device trying to connect to the network—no matter where they are. Following the “never trust, always verify” principle, ZTNA is a key component of the broader Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA).
Zero Trust Network Access offers four key benefits:
- Reduces attack surfaces by removing implicit trust.
- Strengthens security for remote and hybrid work environments.
- Limits damage from compromised credentials or devices.
- Provides better visibility and control over network access.
