Why ZTNA Beats VPNs Every Time
When businesses made the shift to remote and hybrid working, they permanently removed the security perimeter, expanding their attack surface and massively increasing cyber risk.
With a reliance on traditional VPNs never intended for the cloud era, customers are now dealing with slow connections, daily cyberattacks, and high operational costs, which is why replacing outdated VPN remote access tools with a modern alternative like Symantec Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) is currently critical for IT security teams.
Shifting customers to ZTNA
It’s clear organisations need to deploy modern, purpose-built solutions that follow and protect users everywhere, and while the public sector is racing ahead in the adoption of zero trust principles to meet compliance, cyber insurance, and ransomware pressures, we’re seeing uneven adoption across sectors, especially ones like maritime industries, where legacy systems, as well as practical and connectivity issues, are holding them back.
So, as a partner, how can you guide customers toward adopting ZTNA without overburdening IT teams that are already stretched thin or disrupting the experience for end-users?
Easing the burden with Symantec ZTNA
Once customers are ready and understand the value of a zero trust model, let them know about Symantec ZTNA. Addressing all the limitations of VPNs, it ensures users only access what they need, enhancing security and user experience.
Why organisations are choosing Symantec ZTNA:
- Easy cloud app access without network exposure
