As organizations increasingly implement remote work policies, more often than not, they turn to traditional virtual private network (VPN) services to enable remote connectivity.

There are various VPN alternatives available out in the market, with more accessibility and highly secure.
Remote work requires end users to have remote access to corporate resources, causing many organizations to consider VPNs. The question is, can organizations trust users accessing the corporate network through a VPN?
In a typical organization, this access is granted at the network level, which implies that every user who holds VPN rights can gain full access to each corporate resource. There are no restrictions based on the roles and requirements of the user, which increases the risk of unauthorized remote access to sensitive information.
Moreover, the endpoint that connects through a VPN could be a desktop, laptop, or smartphone. If the remote endpoint has security loopholes or is compromised, it could be used as a conduit to exploit the entire network and gain access to unauthorized systems.
When multiple systems connect to the corporate network through a VPN, which is the case now due to the COVID-19 pandemic, corporate resources will be rendered slowly and end users could encounter higher latency due to bandwidth bottlenecks. On top of all this, VPNs can be very expensive.
