The spread of massive ransomware outbreaks, such as NotPetya , made firewalling particularly important. Pet Lovers had already connected and secured traffic between stores with an Internet-based, virtual private network (VPN). All security policy changes had to be implemented by the local service provider running the firewalls.

This was the way firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, email security gateways, data loss prevention and other security systems were implemented. An early approach was to use VPN connections into the enterprise. When deploying a security, it was naturally placed at the entry or exit point of the network.

Normally, such an objective would be mission impossible for a network built on MPLS and firewall appliances. The existing locations had firewall appliances connected by 100 Mbits/s, layer-2, MPLS connections. The existing firewall appliances were also sucking up resources he didnt have. That’s why the team turned to Cato.

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.

Weve all heard of AV and VPN, but there are many more cybersecurity-related acronyms and abbreviations that are worth taking note of. ZTNA Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), also called a software-defined perimeter (SDP), is an alternative to Virtual Private Network (VPN) for secure remote access.

SASE merges the network optimization capabilities of SD-WAN with a full security stack, including Next Generation Firewall (NGFW), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and more. Traffic sent over the VPN acts as if the remote device is directly connected to the network with full access to corporate resources.

At the same time this unprecedented shift to remote work is occurring, businesses are realizing traditional enterprise remote access solutions, like Internet-based VPN, often arent capable of addressing all the needs of large-scale work from home. The client/server architecture of point solutions simply isnt scalable.

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. With a VPN, all communication between the user and the VPN is encrypted. Stolen VPN credentials have been implicated in several high-profile data breaches.

Remote Workers Need Network Access Comparable to In-Office Workers To accommodate the sudden surge of home-based workers, network managers might have ordered a slew of new VPN licenses, and maybe even a larger firewall or VPN appliance, to connect people to the corporate network.

Its expensive and time-consuming for an engineer to visit branch locations around the globe to install firewalls and routers. Conceptually, putting a WAN optimizer or a router on some sort of white box server sounds great. Administrators need to worry about firewall rule sets, configuration updates, and software updates.

By contrast, integrating security and networking solutions, enterprises have to deploy and install separate solutions, such as SD-WAN and firewall appliances. And a fourth interface will need to be consulted to be sure a misconfigured firewall rule isnt blocking access for some users. Convergence changes the IT operations paradigm.
