Overcome VPN complacency with Insicon and Cloudflare

Time to overcome
VPN complacency, risks from old technology, frustrated remote users, confusion of Zero Trust.

While the vulnerabilities and limitations of traditional VPNs are well-known, there remains a lingering complacency about switching to a more secure Zero Trust alternative.

However, with an ever-increasing security risk, switching away from a VPN is a step no business large or small can afford to ignore.

With many parts of the business able to benefit from more secure and efficient alternatives, now’s the time to align internally and start forming a plan for moving to Zero Trust.

Your guide to VPN replacement

Despite the critical importance of replacing VPN, there’s prevailing complacency, often due to lack of clarity around where to start offloading VPN reliance, and what to do in what order.

This guide provides IT and security leaders with considerations for where to start and clear steps to help the transition. This includes:

  • Gaining internal alignment. VPN replacement projects can be initiated by either security or networking teams. What’s crucial is teams work together to align on ownership and implementation. This guide breaks down groups likely to be involved in a collaboration and examines the business dynamics driving change.
  • Where to start. The breadth of users and applications make moving to ZTNA a process best broken into phases.  While there is no right way to approach deployment, this guide looks at how to start small and then build momentum.
  • How other organisations have embraced Zero Trust. With security and connectivity teams both having their own drivers for wanting to replace VPN, this guide goes through customer stories which highlight the main catalysts and value gained from VPN replacement from different points of view.
