What is one benefit of the protect surface in a ZTA for anorganization implementing controls?

 The protect surface in a ZTA is the collection of sensitive data, assets, applications, and services (DAAS) that require protection from threats1. One benefit of the protect surface in a ZTA for an organization implementing controls is that it allows the controls to be moved closer to the asset and minimize risk. This means that instead of relying on a single perimeter or boundary to protect the entire network, ZTA enables granular and dynamic controls that are applied at or near the DAAS components, based on the principle of least privilege2. This reduces the attack surface and the potential impact of a breach, as well as improves the visibility and agility of the security posture3.
