Facing the Reality of VPN Security Flaws, And How to Overcome<br />
Them<br />
NEXT UP, SOFTWARE DEFINED PERIMETERS<br />
By Don Boxley, CEO and Co-Founder, DH2i<br />
Virtual private networks (VPNs) have served as a valued tool on most data and cyber security<br />
professionals' tool belts. However, today's data reality -- where cloud, IoT, big data, and other<br />
progressive applications reign supreme -- many are learning the hard way that traditional VPNs<br />
simply cannot support today's data security demands. Others are unknowingly in for an<br />
inevitable rude awakening. However, more proactive organizations are already exploring or have<br />
deployed more advanced solutions that are able to meet today’s security requirements, as well<br />
as provide additional IT, business and budget benefits.<br />

Unfortunately, however, while the main business advantage of using a VPN is generally regarded as<br />

expose sensitive data to increased security risks, but in today’s cloud-based environment, they actually<br />
magnify those risks exponentially.<br />
