Virtual Private Networks
Securely protecting remote users via a private connection
No one in our community is questioning whether a VPN creates an encrypted tunnel; the real conversation is around the architectural risk of lateral movement once that tunnel is open.
In a landscape dominated by remote access and hybrid workflows, relying on a technology that grants broad network access upon authentication feels increasingly outdated.
Teams here are openly discussing how to mitigate the hidden costs of legacy VPNs, namely back-hauling traffic, poor user experience, and lack of granular asset visibility.
This sub-topic focuses on how security teams are managing the long-term transition away from classic tunnels towards Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) without causing operational disruptions to legacy business applications.
