The COVID-19 outbreak led to a surge in business VPN usage in an extremely short timeframe. In fact, multiple regions saw VPN usage rise over 200% in a matter of weeks. However, as they settle into the new normal, many enterprises are also learning that there are several VPN disadvantages as well. Lets find out.

Encrypt Data, Not Just the Tunnel Most remote access solutions create an encrypted point-to-point tunnel to carry the communications payload. The data payload itself must also be encrypted for strong security. VPNs provide point-to-point connectivity. Security is still a considerable concern when VPNs are used.

Integrated Network Security SD-WAN edge solutions can provide direct Internet access at the branch. However, they typically do not include a full network security stack and require customers either to deploy additional security solutions at every location, backhaul traffic to a datacenter, or use cloud-based security services.

These drivers, though, also come with baggage: the reassessment of todays corporate security model. Traditionally, Wide Area Networks (WANs) and network security were loosely coupled entities. Instead, we must bring networking and security disciplines closer together.

MPLS isnt encrypted by default: MPLS relies on the carrier private network for security because the data doesnt flow on the public Internet. Generally speaking, no 3 rd party can be assumed to be 100% safe these days, so encryption should always be used for data in motion.
