One prominent alternative is Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platforms with embedded Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) that alleviate the security dangers and other disadvantages of VPN. VPNs Put Remote Access Security at High Risk In general, VPNs provide minimal security with traffic encryption and simple user authentication.
