VPNs are no longer enough to secure your network connection
While they worked to fill the gap in a crisis situation, VPNs are no longer optimal for keeping businesses safe from the risk of a breach. As Mike Vizard of Techstrong Group states, “There’s no doubt VPNs play a critical role in enabling employees to work from home during the pandemic. It’s just the time has come to transition to a more flexible network architecture that just happens to be more secure.” The National Security Agency also issued a warning to organizations using VPNs that unless they are properly secured, VPNs are vulnerable to network scanning, brute force attacks, and zero-day vulnerabilities.
