ZTNA is preferred over VPN connections for several reasons:

• Enhanced Security: ZTNA reduces the attack surface by providing access to specific applications rather than the entire network, thereby minimizing potential entry points for attackers.
• Better Performance: ZTNA often routes traffic more efficiently by connecting users directly to applications, reducing latency and improving performance compared to VPNs.
• Scalability: ZTNA solutions are typically more scalable and easier to manage, especially in cloud and hybrid environments where traditional VPN infrastructure may become complex and costly.
• Improved User Experience: ZTNA simplifies access for users by eliminating the need for VPN clients and providing seamless, context-aware access to resources.
