Modern Approaches to Network Access Security Modern Approaches to Network Access Security

OVERVIEW

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has frequently identified virtual private network (VPN) solutions that have been involved in many recent high-profile incidents, both with cyber criminals and nation-state actors. CISA has discovered over 22 Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEVs) related to VPN compromise, leading to broad access to victim networks. These incidents and associated vulnerabilities are prompting some to consider replacing their legacy VPN solutions with modern network access solutions. The shift of more services into the cloud also points to the value of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) instead of a traditional security stack located in an on-premises data center. While some VPN solutions are inherently more secure than others—and not always the cause of major cyber incidents— current hybrid networks require adopting modern network access security solutions to help organizations protect corporate resources. Moreover, these network access solutions provide opportunities to integrate granular access control not inherent to traditional VPN approaches. CISA encourages a careful analysis of how your security needs have changed in light of increased use of cloud services and leveraging any technology updates to progress in your Zero Trust journey.
