VPNs Do Not Support Work from Anywhere
End-users require secure remote access to any application, on any device, and from any location. Read the guide to find out why VPNs can't support work from anywhere.
A Slow and Poor User Experience
VPNs backhaul traffic and create slow, frustrating experiences for users. Clunky authentication and unreliable connectivity reduce productivity and leave users unhappy. ZTNA offers fast, direct access to apps with continuous, transparent authentication.
Damaging Security Gaps
VPNs grant broad network access, creating security gaps. They expand attack surfaces by exposing network IPs. ZTNA can segment applications, hiding them from public visibility while granting least privilege access to apps using access controls.
High-Cost Scalability
VPNs are expensive. They require companies to either spin up their own servers or pay for the use of servers through vendors. This can present organizations with ever-increasing costs as they grow and try to maintain security.
Increased Management Time and Effort
VPNs can't optimize connectivity to on-premises and SaaS apps and require an expensive security stack that must be manually configured and replicated to scale. ZTNA eliminates maintaining costly infrastructure and optimizes connectivity globally.

How To Get Started With CylanceEDGE in Less Than 30 Minutes
Learn how easy it is to get started with ZTNA in the demo video. Join our experts as they demonstrate connectivity, adding and configuring users and services, assigning policies, and installing and activiting users.
CylanceEDGE was a breeze to deploy and a huge improvement from VPN. It has allowed us to retire our VPN appliances and greatly expand the number of users capable of supporting our interactive teller machines. It also provides detailed network-level data which helps us troubleshoot filtering issues and gives visibility into threats, all without creating an external attack surface.

VPNs enable broad and implicitly trusted access to your network which an attacker can easily exploit to spread malware or exfiltrate data. CylanceEDGE doesn’t suffer from this problem. It walls off assets and applications so they can’t see or interact with each other.
