1. A method for deploying a centrally managed gateway for zero trust network access, the method comprising:
retrieving a base image for a zero trust network access gateway, the base image including a bootable image of the zero trust network access gateway;
retrieving configuration information including a client identifier for the zero trust network access gateway from a threat management facility;
retrieving a one-time passcode for the client identifier from an identity management platform;
creating a supplemental drive image for the zero trust network access gateway, the supplemental drive image including the configuration information and the one-time passcode for the zero trust network access gateway; and
booting the zero trust network access gateway from the base image and the supplemental drive image, wherein the zero trust network access gateway is configured to register with the threat management facility using the client identifier and the one-time passcode stored on the supplemental drive image.
