Description
Many users find VPNs frustrating because they must log in repeatedly each time they need to access an application. This annoyance is compounded by latency issues that arise while working from home, leading some individuals to consider circumventing security measures to complete their tasks. By extending the corporate network to remote employees, VPNs inadvertently widen the attack surface, which can heighten the risk of security breaches. If a remote worker's device is compromised by malware, there is a significant chance that it could spread through the entire network when the employee connects via VPN. Additionally, maintaining a full VPN gateway appliance stack can be quite costly and demands considerable resources for effective management. The expenses escalate further as latency and capacity constraints necessitate that organizations establish replicated gateway stacks at multiple data centers, ultimately straining budgets and resources. This situation highlights the need for more efficient and user-friendly alternatives to traditional VPN solutions.
