About this talk

VPNs, whether on-premises or cloud-delivered, create unnecessary risk by exposing the attack surface and failing to prevent lateral threat movement if breached. Despite these vulnerabilities, organizations continue to use VPNs to connect remote users to applications. Recently, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released an emergency directive that mandated US federal agencies to immediately disconnect the VPN instances of a VPN vendor. In the face of the serious risks posed by VPNs, it is time for organizations across industries to transition from outdated VPNs to a zero trust architecture. Join Deepen Desai, Chief Security Officer at Zscaler, and Joby Menon, VP, ZPA Product Management at Zscaler, as they discuss this topic. In this on demand webinar, you will learn about: Recent VPN vulnerabilities and their impact on organizations, including insights from Zscaler Threatlabz Risks associated with using VPNs to access your organization’s resources How Zscaler’s zero trust private access solution enables secure application access for all users, from any location, without the attack surface and lateral threat movement vulnerabilities of VPNs

Back in the day when your users were all on the network and your applications resided in your physical data center, it made sense to establish a secure perimeter around your network. But those days are over, the perimeter is gone, and network security is all but irrelevant. Instead, you need to put your defenses and controls where the connections occur— the internet — so that every connection is fast and secure, no matter how or where users connect or where their applications reside. By moving applications and infrastructure to the cloud and untethering employees from their desks, you can realize tremendous advantages in productivity, agility, and cost containment. With our 100% cloud built secure platform, Zscaler can help you make the move to the cloud, securely.
