VPNs Put Your Business at Risk
Cloud-delivered or appliance-based VPNs leave you exposed to cyberattacks. It’s time for a zero trust architecture.
Zscaler’s cloud native zero trust network access (ZTNA) solution is the industry’s most deployed remote access solution, delivering secure, fast access to private apps for all users, from any location.
VPNs are not zero trust by design - even when cloud-delivered
VPNs are plagued by vulnerabilities and regularly exploited by attackers. Their network-centric design backhauls traffic and allows for lateral movement by putting users directly on the network.

VPNs expand your attack surface and enable lateral threat movement, leading to ransomware attacks
In the age of cloud and hybrid work, VPNs fall short when it comes to remote access. They are insecure, slow, and complex to manage.
- Insecure: VPN vulnerabilities create a massive attack surface, allowing unrestricted lateral threat movement by design and putting organizations at risk of data breaches.
- Slow: Traffic backhauling, unstable connections, and resource-heavy VPN clients result in poor user experiences.
- Complex: Hardware deployment, routing table management, performance issue troubleshooting, and patching introduce operational complexity.

Reduce your attack surface and the risk of lateral threat movement. No more internet-exposed remote access IP addresses—connections are brokered, not routed.
