Get the Best VPN Alternative for your Organization
Upgrade your security posture with a cloud ready, remote ready VPN Alternative for your business
Your traditional VPN security setup is not build for modern enterprises
VPNs are not optimised for the cloud or for large scale remote work. VPNs present security risks that put the entire network at risk, and also hamper user experience. Perimeter based VPN provides users with access to entire corporate network, thereby creating a large attack surface. In case an user gets compromised, the entire network comes at risk. There are no security controls for role-based access which assumes implicit trust for all kind of users.
Excessive Implicit Trust
Unlike modern alternatives of VPN, traditional VPNs assume excessive implicit trust to all users, allowing malicious actors to exploit your network
Increased Attack Surface
IPs are exposed to the external internet, and can be accessed through malicious means
Performance Issues
In absence of alternatives to VPN for remote access, backhauling of user data traffic through DCs leads to impeded network connectivity and latency issues
Management Complexity
VPNs are hard to scale, and require significant operational expenditure for maintenance

Understanding Virtual Private Network (VPN) and How it works
Understanding Virtual Private Network (VPN) and How it works
Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps to create a secure and encrypted connection over a public network. VPNs are preferable method to access a private network over a public network. Remote employees use VPNs to access corporate resources from anywhere in the world.
Using VPN, internet traffic is routed through a VPN server to the corporate network. VPN server is managed and operated by the VPN service provider. Since, the traffic is routed through VPN server, the IP address of the user is hidden and the IP address of VPN server gets visible as the internet traffic originator.
Security Challenges associated with VPNs
Even though VPNs are widely used across organizations to access corporate resources, VPNs come with many security risks and challenges that can impact any organization severely.
Lack of clear visibility
VPNs are designed for site-to-site connectivity. VPNs can gather data on which user is connected to the network and cannot provide information on which user is accessing which kind of information within the network.
Weak Security
If a user machine gets affected, it can affect the entire network. VPNs don't provide protection against malware, data leakage, and other security threats
Backhauling of internet traffic
VPNs route all their traffic through VPN server and then to the enterprise resource, user want to access. This creates a long in-efficient route which can add lag to the system in accessing the resources and impact user experience.
Software Vulnerability
VPNs are vulnerable to hacking if there is publicly available software vulnerability and patch update is not performed.
Excessive Implicit Trust
Unlike modern alternatives of VPN, traditional VPNs assume excessive implicit trust to all users, allowing malicious actors to exploit your network.
Performance Issues
In absence of alternatives to VPN for remote access, backhauling of user data traffic through DCs leads to impeded network connectivity and latency issues.
VPN are designed to provide connectivity for some users for some of the time. But VPN servers cannot support all the users getting connected all the time. In this current scenario where everyone requires constant remote access, legacy VPN can't support the extreme load, resulting in slow response time and affecting user experience. VPN servers aren't suited for the scalability, security, and performance needed for current business needs.
Some of the common reasons to give VPN alternatives a try are listed below:
Scalability
Accessible network environments
Cloud adoption
Cost
Security
Scalability
Employing alternatives to VPN is because of the ability to scale as a business grows. VPN alternatives can handle significant traffic without exposing organisation assets compared to traditional means.

Instasafe: a VPN Alternative That Delivers a Zero Trust Model
InstaSafe follows a Privacy First approach. To put it across in simple terms, InstaSafe builds its technologies on the fundamental assertion that the data belonging to the company should be handled by the company itself, and not by any intermediary vendor. VPNs steers all internet bound traffic, without segregating or differentiating the traffic, to their server for inspection. Now, this essentially increases the risk of supply chain attacks, wherein, when the security provider is compromised, and access to the server is attained, it results in company data being compromised as well. It can also act as a bottleneck and be a reason for latency. InstaSafe believes that a vendor managed device should not get the visibility to the data consumed by the users of the organisation
Understanding Zero Trust Security Model
Zero Trust is a combination of different security capabilities that aim to provide comprehensive security solutions to users accessing corporate resources securely either from inside or outside of the company perimeter.
Some of the Key Components of Zero Trust include:
Identity and Access Management (IAM)
IAM provides authentication mechanism considering the user identity and device identification. Multi factor authentication (MFA) provides additional security layer on top of single factor authentication of user identity
Micro-Segmentation
Entire network is divided into isolated segments which has its own micro perimeter. Each user is provided access to this micro segment based on access control rules and thereby limit the threat of lateral movement attack in case the user device is breached
Policy Engine
Policy engine evaluates each user access request considering the parameters such as user identity, device identity and device posture, geolocation and user behaviour. Access is provided on a “Need to Know” basis.
Network Visibility and Monitoring
Complete visibility of all user activity and network activity with real-time monitoring giving 360 degree visibility of security posture of entire infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions on VPN Alternative
There are several VPN alternative solutions available based on usecase. Some of the notable ones are:
- Proxy Servers: Proxy servers act as an intermediary between the User's device and the internet. Proxy servers can help to hide the IP address of the user and provide private access to the cloud resources. There are different types of proxy servers available namely reverse proxy, web proxy, DNS proxy and so-on
- Remote Desktop Protocols (RDP): RDP allows users to connect a remote computer and access all resources within that remote computer.
- Cloud Access Security Broker (CASBs): CASBs are cloud based solution that sits between the organization's infrastructure and cloud provider's infrastructure. It supports both on-premise and cloud infrastructure.
- Software Defined Perimeter (SDP): SDP creates a secure and isolated connection between users and corporate network.
- Zero Trust Network Access(ZTNA): ZTNA provides user with the least privilege access to corporate applications based on user identity and device posture and doesn't provide entire access to the network.
