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.

Security must be an inherent part of the network, which is why Gartner expects networking and security to converge. Theyve dubbed this converged architecture SASE, or secure access service edge. SASE moves security out of the legacy datacenter and closer to where users, data and applications reside today.

As a result, many companies attempted to meet the needs of their remote workforce via remote access VPNs with varying levels of success. What is a Remote Access VPN and How Does it Work? A remote access virtual private network (VPN) is a solution designed to securely connect a remote user to the enterprise network.

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.

I read with some surprise the interview with Zscalers CEO, Jay Chaudry, in CRN where he stated that the network firewalls will go the way of the mainframe, that the network is just plumbing and that Zscaler proxy overlay architecture will replace it with its application switchboard. This is my take. The idea behind Cato is simple.

For example, the trombone effect (the inefficient backhauling of cloud bound traffic through a specific network endpoint) often meant MPLS connectivity to cloud assets was worse than standard Internet connections. As a result, businesses turned to SD-WAN and Internet-based VPN solutions as an alternative. The solution?
