Are your users using VPNs to access documents, files, and applications remotely?
Unfortunately, legacy VPN products are falling short of performance and security standards. The result? Employees have been known to proactively install commercial VPNs that are not provided or sanctioned by their companies, to protect their devices and data.
Unfortunately, these well-intentioned efforts can pose an even greater security risk for their company than doing nothing at all. While the use of VPNs has increased drastically in recent decades, the challenges far outweigh the benefits, especially for organisations that use such services on a daily basis.
Recent research from our partners Barracuda has shown that VPNs compromise security through exposure of sensitive data, place limitations on data storage capabilities for free users, consume a device’s processing power (which can ultimately allow service providers to sell bandwidth for profit), and reduce internet speeds overtime.
