Many companies have turned to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratospherenetworks.com\/secure-vpn.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a Virtual Private Network (VPN)<\/a> to give their team members access to essential data and applications from anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s reflected by a survey of six prominent VPN providers conducted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevpnexperts.com\/research\/study-reveals-rise-in-vpn-usage-covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">TheVPNExperts<\/a>: All of the suppliers included in the study said the pandemic had resulted in more end users. Additionally, half of them predicted that VPN usage levels would remain elevated even after the current crisis dies down.<\/p>\n<p>However, cybersecurity experts have issued warnings and voiced concerns about potential risks and issues with VPN solutions. If you\u2019re thinking about implementing this type of tech to keep your remote employees connected, consider the following information first.<\/p>\n<h2>How VPNs Work<\/h2>\n<p>Essentially, a VPN is a private network that uses a public network to connect remote end users or locations, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisco.com\/c\/en\/us\/support\/docs\/security-vpn\/ipsec-negotiation-ike-protocols\/14106-how-vpn-works.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">according to Cisco<\/a>. Usually, your remote employees will rely on this technology to access your company\u2019s Local Area Network (LAN). A VPN solution can benefit your organization in some ways, such as the following.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Granting remote workers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratospherenetworks.com\/blog\/what-should-security-guidelines-for-remote-workers-include\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">secure access<\/a> to your corporate network<\/li>\n<li>Containing costs, compared to a traditional Wide Area Network (WAN)<\/li>\n<li>Increasing productivity by allowing your team members to work effectively from anywhere<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Still, the success you have with a VPN solution depends heavily on which supplier you choose and the implementation of proper security controls.<\/p>\n<h2>VPNs and IT Security: Potential Issues and Ways to Combat Them<\/h2>\n<p>As VPNs surge in popularity as a way to empower people working from home, security experts have warned that companies must proactively ensure the remote access technology they rely on is as safe as possible, according to the ZDNet article \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/covid-19-with-everyone-working-from-home-vpn-security-has-now-become-paramount\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">With everyone working from home, VPN security is now paramount<\/a>.\u201d For instance, in March, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (DHS CISA) <a href=\"https:\/\/us-cert.cisa.gov\/ncas\/alerts\/aa20-073a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">issued an alert<\/a> about enterprise VPNs advising that companies using this technology \u201cadopt a heightened sense of cybersecurity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More specifically, the DHS CISA cautioned that failing to patch and update VPNs on a regular basis and a lack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratospherenetworks.com\/two-factor-authentication.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">multi-factor authentication (MFA)<\/a> for remote access accounts \u2013 combined with a potential uptick in phishing attempts by malicious actors seeking to exploit individuals working from home \u2013 could lead to breaches.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, a lack of security controls on the supplier\u2019s side can also lead to issues. For instance, it recently came to light that various free VPN platforms had left their servers open, potentially exposing the personal data of more than 20 million end users, according to the vpnMentor blog entry \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vpnmentor.com\/blog\/report-free-vpns-leak\/#Timeline-of-Discovery-and-Owner-Reaction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">Report: No-Log VPNs Exposed Users\u2019 Logs and Personal Details for All to See.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, if your business decides to use a VPN, it\u2019s advisable to avoid the free options and vet the supplier carefully. The DHS CISA also recommends the following mitigating actions, among others:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratospherenetworks.com\/employee-security-awareness.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Educating your employees<\/a> on how to spot phishing attempts.<\/li>\n<li>Using MFA for all remote access accounts.<\/li>\n<li>Updating and patching your VPN solution (as well as all other remote work infrastructure) routinely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s also crucial to have other cybersecurity solutions in place, such as data loss prevention and endpoint and network <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratospherenetworks.com\/managed-detection-and-response.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Managed Detection and Response (MDR)<\/a>, according to the BankInfoSecurity article \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankinfosecurity.com\/covid-19-crisis-how-to-manage-vpns-a-14027\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external external_icon\">COVID-19 Crisis: How to Manage VPNs<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>An Alternative to VPNs: Zero-Trust Network Architecture<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to go beyond what VPN solutions offer in terms of cybersecurity, it\u2019s worth looking into a zero-trust network architecture with a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE). We offer this via our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stratospherenetworks.com\/office-anywhere.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Office Anywhere platform<\/a>.
