HPE 2024 VPN Risk Report
Critical trends, challenges, and solutions shaping the state of VPNs
In the fast-evolving landscape of remote work, this Report highlights critical trends, challenges, and solutions shaping the state of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and their alternatives.
Report Overview
Understanding the evolving landscape of remote access security
In the past, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) have been the go-to solution for remote access. However, with the surge in remote work and distributed workforce models and the rise of cloud adoption, the basic connectivity provided by VPNs is being put to the test. As cyber threats continue to evolve at a rapid pace, VPNs struggle to provide the secure, segmented access that organizations require. Instead, they often grant full access to the corporate network, increasing the risk of cyberattacks once malicious actors obtain login credentials.
As the landscape of remote access security evolves, VPNs are increasingly seen as inadequate. The focus is shifting towards adopting Zero Trust to meet changing business needs. When contemplating the technologies that could replace VPNs, many teams are gravitating toward a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) approach, which effectively eliminates the need for corporate VPNs.
HPE Aruba Networking 2024 VPN Risk Report, based on a survey of 593 IT professionals and cybersecurity experts, offers a comprehensive analysis of the current state of VPNs. It uncovers the risks and challenges businesses encounter due to VPN usage and provides insights into the future of secure remote access and its implications for businesses like yours.
