Replace VPN with ZTNA

    The iboss Zero Trust SASE Platform replaces VPN with ZTNA to improve security and reduce costs. Provide secure, granular access to applications while eliminating the complexity of traditional VPN solutions.

    The Challenges

    Legacy VPNs provide access to resources for remote workers but do not provide tight controls on what resources can be accessed while users are connected. Once a user is connected to the VPN, they have free access to any resource available on the private network. As users interact with resources, no security is applied, such as CASB, malware defense, and Data Loss Prevention, leading to a significant risk of breach and data loss.

    VPNs are cumbersome for remote users

    Replace VPN with ZTNA

    The iboss Zero Trust SASE Platform is an instant replacement for legacy VPN and improves the end-user experience because it runs transparently and automatically with no end-user intervention

    VPNs are slow and reduce productivity

    ZTNA + Zero Trust SASE Platform Provides Fast Access

    The iboss Zero Trust SASE Platform provides direct access to all applications without the need to traverse a VPN by delivering security in the cloud. This dramatically increases connection speeds and productivity.

    VPNs provide too much access to onsite resources

    ZTNA provides granular access controls

    The iboss Zero Trust SASE Platform provides per-app access controls and automatically denies all other resources. It also provides a complete security stack and logging to reduce risk and increase compliance.

    Contractors need access to sensitive resources

    Contractor Access Through Browser Isolation

    Browser Isolation, the replacement for VDI, allows contractors to access resources through a pane-of-glass using SSO authentication while ensuring security and logging are in place for all transactions, all without software or a VPN.

    The Solution

    The iboss Zero Trust SASE Platform is an advanced security solution that completely replaces the functionality delivered by legacy VPNs with a global consolidated cloud security service. The ZTNA capability connects remote users to onsite resources, completely replacing the need for VPN and eliminating the VPN budget line item.

    ZTNA is substantially more secure than VPN because it only allows remote users to access approved applications while automatically denying access to all other resources in the office. ZTNA also authenticates users with modern SSO, including MFA, and provides continuous authorization so that every access to sensitive resources is inspected for protection.

    Zero Trust Access

    ZTNA connections run through the entire iboss Zero Trust SASE Platform security stack, which means that CASB, malware defense, DLP, and logging will be applied to each connection.

    Key Benefits

    Per-Application Access

    Quickly replace VPN to improve security by providing access on a per-application basis

    Point Product Consolidation

    Consolidate point products such as VPN, Proxies, and VDI with ZTNA, SASE, and Browser Isolation for lower costs

    Continuous Adaptive Access

    Achieve higher security with continuous adaptive access that evaluates every request for security and compliance

    Universal SSO and MFA

    Force MFA and SSO for all applications and services, including legacy applications that do not support SAML

    Complete Visibility

    Gain visibility from detailed logging for every interaction between users and sensitive private resources

    Device Compliance

    Ensure devices are compliant before accessing sensitive resources, such as ensuring the device firewall is on, antimalware is running, and the disk is encrypted

    Use Cases & Business Value

    Replace legacy VPNs such as Cisco Anyconnect

    The iboss Zero Trust SASE Platform provides ZTNA that eliminates VPN and improves security

    Benefits

    Quickly replace VPN with ZTNA to reduce costs, increase security and improve the end-user experience.

    Provide remote users access to onsite resources

    The iboss Zero Trust SASE Platform includes ZTNA that connects users to all resources, including those on-site, from wherever they work.

    Benefits

    Eliminates point product solutions, such as VPNs, that only perform one function but consume a separate budget line item. This reduces costs and complexity and allows users to connect to whatever they need to do their most productive work.

    Microsoft O365 traffic has saturated the VPN

    As a Microsoft Certified Network and Security Partner, the iboss Zero Trust SASE Platform offloads Microsoft O365 traffic and secures the connections directly within the cloud service.

    Benefits

    Increased productivity, fewer complaints related to connectivity, and lower costs when implementing Microsoft Tenant Restrictions which are traditionally enforced in the data center using expensive proxy appliances.

    Enforce device posture checks before allowing access

    The iboss Zero Trust SASE Platform provides extensive device posture checks that include antimalware, firewall, and disk encryption checks and ensures compliance requirements are met before granting access to sensitive resources.

    Benefits

    Dramatically reduces risk and ensures compliance is met without complicated management and configuration overhead.

    Key Capabilities

    Consolidates VPN, Proxies, and VDI into a single solution that includes ZTNA, Zero Trust SASE Platform, and Browser Isolation

    Includes CASB, malware defense, DLP, Exact Data Match, compliance policies, and logging for all interactions with sensitive private resources

    Improves the end-user experience while increasing security by isolating access to resources

    Provides SSO and MFA for all types of resource access, including legacy apps, even when those apps do not support SAML or SSO

    Performs device posture checks, such as ensuring antimalware is running, the firewall is on, and the disk is encrypted, before allowing access to sensitive resources

    Technical Solution

    The iboss Zero Trust SASE Platform can solve the issues related to VPN by replacing VPN with iboss ZTNA. ZTNA is a technology that increases security by only allowing users to access authorized resources while automatically denying access to everything else.
