Here's our take on that, and how our friends at Menlo Security change the game.
Traditional VPNs grant broad access to internal networks, meaning once a user is connected - whether legitimate or compromised - they can potentially move laterally across systems. This creates a high-risk environment, particularly as hybrid and remote workforces grow. VPNs also often introduce performance bottlenecks, slowing down user experience due to backhauling traffic through centralised gateways.
Moreover, VPNs lack granular control and visibility. Security teams struggle to monitor or enforce policy based on user behavior or application use. As attackers exploit these weaknesses using stolen credentials or compromised endpoints, businesses are left vulnerable to ransomware, phishing, and zero-day threats.
Menlo Security offers a modern, Zero Trust approach that eliminates the need for traditional VPNs. By isolating all web and application traffic in the cloud, Menlo prevents threats from ever reaching the endpoint - regardless of whether the user is remote or on-site. Its patented isolation technology provides safe access to the internet and SaaS apps without performance trade-offs.
With Menlo, organisations gain robust protection, improved visibility, and a user-friendly experience without relying on legacy VPN infrastructure.
This brief explores Menlo Secure Application Access, a modern, secure replacement for traditional VPNs. It addresses the security risks and poor user experience associated with VPNs, highlighting Menlo's solution that provides granular, application-level access with zero-trust security.
