Zero Trust Series: Unified Access to Firewall Role Mapping with OmniVista UPAM

A Zero-Trust Architecture based on micro-segmentation uses in fact a combination of macro- and micro-segmentation. Users and devices are authenticated at the access layer and, therefore, user and device role information must be shared with the firewall such that firewall policies can also be role-based. Learn how you can integrate ALE’s Unified Access solution with external leading firewall vendors such as Palo Alto and Fortigate such that firewall policies can automatically adapt to the user role.
