The 6 Most Compelling Use Cases for Complete Legacy VPN Replacement
Legacy remote access VPN infrastructure has long been a security liability. Its broad network connectivity attracts attackers and permits unauthorized lateral movement. Forcing remote users to backhaul nonlocal traffic through the VPN just to get back to the internet leads to poor user experience, and entails high cost and routing complexity.
For enterprises that plan to modernize connectivity for the hybrid workforce, ZTNA is the modern alternative to legacy remote access VPN. But not all ZTNA solutions successfully enable complete VPN replacement.
To successfully upgrade from legacy VPN to ZTNA, our recommendation is to identify and prioritize key use cases when planning for a full migration. Useful planning, combined with the right technology investments, will enable teams to finally meet the promise of full VPN retirement.
