Secure remote access: Evaluating alternatives to traditional VPN

As enterprises adopt cloud applications, the traditional remote access VPN model is less relevant. Remote access VPN is designed for secure access to on-premises data centers but falls short in optimizing access to cloud-based applications.
This white paper explores the limitations of remote access VPN, including backhaul issues, inconsistent security policy enforcement, and poor user experience. It also examines compromises like split-tunnel VPNs and web proxies, which have negative security implications.
To address these challenges, the paper introduces Prisma Access, a cloud-delivered security platform providing secure access to all applications, whether in the data center, public cloud, or SaaS.
