New Research Reveals Widespread Movement to Replace VPNs With Zero Trust Network Access
Zero Trust Network Access ends VPN attacks and more than two-thirds of organizations are taking action
Business leaders are under tremendous pressure to move to the cloud to deliver a better customer experience, but they must be able to protect the business while doing so. ZTNA services are built to ensure that only authorized users can access specific applications based on business policies. Unlike VPNs, users are never placed on the network and apps are never exposed to the internet. This creates a zero attack surface, protecting the business from threats like the recent wave of malware and successful VPN attacks. Other key survey findings include:
- 61 percent of organizations are concerned about partners with weak security practices accessing internal applications.
- BYOD is still an IT security reality in 2019 as 57 percent of organizations are prioritizing secure access from personal, unmanaged devices.
- 53 percent of respondents believe their current security technology can mitigate their risk even though legacy technologies directly connect users to the network - expanding the attack surface.
“With state-sponsored groups exploiting known flaws in VPNs, organizations need to reduce the attack surface by rethinking how they secure and provide access to their apps in a cloud and mobile-first world,” said
