INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The primary use-case at the time was to connect various corporate offices into a unified network
Since then, VPNs have grown in popularity and have been used for many more use-cases - many of which depart significantly from the original
intent and function of the technology

within the IT circle, VPNs have become the default choice for many use cases, often due to a lack of a better solution
Remote work is a popular use case, and in light of the Covid-19 outbreak, many companies are rushing to deploy VPNs to enable employees to
IT-managed and hardened devices - which is increasingly common
In fact, for many companies, VPNs can mean higher risk, degraded user experience, and loss of productivity
apps to be productive, VPNs are often a mismatch
They introduce higher costs, more complex infrastructure, and a larger surface of attack
are usually not needed by remote workersFile shares have other options for remote access, including cloud storage - app-based
and/or legacy apps employees need to be productive
created - many apps are web-based
Virtualizing TCP/IP just for redirecting HTTP traffic becomes ineffective and costly
As for legacy apps that serve TCP/IP clients, their delivery to remote locations can be simplified too, as proven by virtual application

Sessions are rendered through HTTPS, hence secured with multi-session concurrency support.(Image credit: NoVPN)Non-disruptive workflowWith
NoVPN, users simply go to a dedicated URL provided by their IT team
The user navigates through the remote browser, which looks like a normal browsing session
experience perspective, NoVPN is better than VPN because there is no need to connect / disconnect to a VPN session each time they need to
user and lower network overhead for IT.From a security perspective, NoVPN has significant advantages
Hence it requires a full-blown network security audit and hardening
From dividing the network into subnetworks to reinforcing passwords, closing unnecessary ports and more, the security preparations for
deploying VPNs is a considerable project in and of itself

remote workingThe COVID-19 outbreak has put pressure on an unprecedented number of companies to establish remote work policies
If your remote workers use personal devices, operating on an unsecured home network, you should reconsider the approach
The shift to remote work is here to stay and will outlast the COVID-19 outbreak, so it is critical that you weigh your options and determine
if VPNs truly solve the security, user experience, and productivity issues of your new remote workforce.v5afvhApbvGMbaNZRAGbUL.jpg?#
