Akamai Enterprise Application Access (EAA) is a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution that provides secure, identity-aware access to private applications without the need for a VPN. By closing all inbound firewall ports and integrating with existing identity providers, EAA ensures that only authorized users can access specific applications, significantly reducing the attack surface.
