Why remote access should be a collaboration between network & security | White Paper A VPN Cant Provide Zero Trust The rise of remote and hybrid work has made secure remote access a vital capability for many organizations. Without built-in access controls, VPNs cannot enforce zero trusts least privilege access policies.

Add a new security solution new type of firewall, a SWG, or IPS and you have yet another product to manage and maintain. But with COVID-19, users transitioned to work at home, not in the office.

For all of its talk, SASE as understood by much of the industry, will not completely replace a global MPLS network; the Internet is simply too unpredictable for that. Only by converging SASE with NaaS can companies eliminate costly, legacy MPLS services. Its why SASE has emerged to be such a dominant force.

Gartner believes (and we agree) that the future of networking lies with SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) the convergence ofnetworking and security into one cloud service. There is, and its called SASE. SASE is a new infrastructure category introduced by Gartner in 2019. This is easier said than done.

Companies looking to provide secure remote access to their off-site employees have largely chosen to expand their existing virtual private network (VPN) deployments. VPNs are ill-suited to meeting modern business needs and will only become less so in the future. Moving Beyond the VPN A remote access VPN is a thing of the past.

Many companies that already offered VPN services to a small group of remote workers scurried to extend those capabilities to the much larger workforce sequestering at home. VPNs are certainly one option, but not the only one. Other choices include appliance-based SD-WAN and SASE. Lets have a look at each approach.
