The VPN Trap:
Why Enterprises Are Accepting the Move to Zero Trust Network Access

The problem

The virtual private network (VPN), once the industry standard for secure remote access, is now a point of failure. Traditional VPNs were not designed for today’s perimeterless, cloud-first enterprise. They provide too much trust, giving broad lateral movement to attackers once breached. Organizations have to constantly patch vulnerabilities. A staggering 56% of organizations have experienced a VPN-related breach in the last year alone. Additionally, slow speeds and frequent disconnects degrade user productivity, which frustrates the end-user. There’s also a maintenance burden on IT teams that is unsustainable.

The solution

Organizations must undergo VPN replacement with zero trust network access (ZTNA) to secure modern workforces. ZTNA connects users directly to applications, validates identity and device posture, and performs continuous authorization. It removes hardware dependency in a cloud environment and applies consistent security policy for fast and secure access. Watch this webinar.

What you’ll learn

• Understand the risk: See the staggering data on VPN security risks and why the exploitation of vulnerabilities at the edge is accelerating. As per the VPN under siege report, 56% of organizations experienced a VPN-related security incident in the past year.
• The ZTNA architecture: Get a picture of the architectural difference. ZTNA provides application access based on granular policies vs. the network-centric policies of VPNs.
• Business outcomes: The benefits organizations report after adopting ZTNA include 78% reporting enhanced security, 63% citing simplified management, and 51% citing improved application performance.
• Practical transition: Actionable steps on how to transition from legacy access solutions to a modern ZTNA approach without disrupting operations.
• Replacement strategy: Learn how a universal ZTNA solution can support all applications, including legacy, VoIP, and server-initiated flows to achieve full VPN retirement.
• The SASE advantage: Understand the growing importance of integrating ZTNA into a SASE platform for unified security, consistent policy enforcement, and real-time visibility.
