From there, design your Desktop as a Service offering using concepts and solutions that implement zero trust network access.

Zero trust network access includes technologies that provide secure remote access to applications, desktops, and data based on access control rules.

For users returning to the office, you may be able to consider the keycard the used to access the building as one of the authentication factors, then authenticate them into your DaaS environment with a single username/password factor.

The key to ZTNA is the access control rules that indicate what assets an authorized user may access.

Just as with authentication, access control rules should take the user's physical location into consideration, changing what the user may access based on whether they are in the office, at home, or on the road. In the case of ZTNA for DaaS, the access control rules have the added benefit of allowing you to pool and share resources, leverage hybrid hosting platforms, and manage peripherals.

For ZTNA with DaaS, replace your VPN with a secure gateway that is intelligently controlled by the connection broker that implements your access control rules.
