In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, businesses face numerous challenges when it comes to achieving seamless connectivity, optimizing their IT infrastructure, and staying ahead of the competition. Traditional hub-and-spoke or backhaul network architectures often struggle to keep up with the increasing demands placed on them by the adoption of cloud services, growing distributed workforces, and the need for robust disaster recovery capabilities.

For more than two decades, virtual private networks (VPNs) have been the go-to technology for enterprise remote access — and by extension, for enforcing remote access security. Even ubiquitous internet connections are often redirected via VPN to a central data center, where security enforcement occurs through various hardware appliances. From there, the traffic is forwarded onward to the internet. Of course, it must follow the same indirect path back on the response side.
