Security News > 2022 > January > ZTNAs Address Requirements VPNs Cannot. Here's Why.

While VPNs are able to provide remote access, it may come as a surprise that they fall short when it comes to security.

Many Lookout customers may have a similar experience that also includes accessing applications on AWS or Azure, such as SAP S/4HANA. As we work remotely, we've become accustomed to seamlessly accessing what we need wherever it is and to work from any device of our choosing.

One of the biggest issues with VPNs is that they provide full network access to whoever and whatever is connected.

To address these new problems and for the reasons discussed above, VPNs don't cut it when it comes to giving your remote workers secure access to what they need.

Secure access technologies like Zero Trust network access or cloud access security broker pick up where VPNs leave off.

These secure access service edge technologies give granular access to only the applications and data that your workers need while continuously monitoring user and device behavior to adjust access based on risk dynamically.
