The pandemic and subsequent shift to support remote workers has put renewed focus on the limitations of relying on virtual private networks — and why zero-trust access controls offer greater long-term security.

“There are a lot of challenges around scaling VPNs. Agencies that have adopted zero trust earlier were able to get [their remote workforce] up and running quite simply,” says Jose Padin.

Padin discusses use cases that show zero trust’s value over traditional VPNs and how agencies benefit, by being able to reduce operating costs and scale access quickly to meet workforce demands. He also touches on ways agencies can establish quick wins with zero trust. Sponsored by Zscaler.
