Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) have become one of the cornerstones of secure communications over the internet. However, there has been a lot of confusion around what VPNs can and cannot do. That confusion has led many technologists to choose a VPN solution that may not be well suited for their particular environment.

When more of the workforce shifts to working remotely, it puts new and different strains on the infrastructure across different parts of the network, especially where VPN gateways connect to the network edge. This could mean the users are saturating the internet connectivity or that they’ve saturated the LAN (or maybe WAN).

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.

Think about what information you’ll need to find out which EC2 instance hogged a VPN connection or what service drove up costs on your NAT gateways, and so on. While setting up global VPC Flow Logs takes just a few minutes, building logs that only capture inter-VPC flow and internet flows can take a bit more time and thought.
