The COVID-19 pandemic has forced network administrators back to the drawing board in 2020-21. Pre-pandemic, corporate VPN was a luxury provided to remote workers, travelling employees and C-suite management, which only formed a small percentage of the workforce.
Now, it has become the essential service upon which a whole organization relies. There are different ways that organizations are scaling their VPN capabilities. From integrating native user VPN solutions to deploying application VPN solutions, companies are looking to deploy physical device or cloud devices. Some organizations have utilized a hybrid approach, where cloud devices are added on top of existing infrastructure. This model works well with the option of scaling down virtual devices after more users start coming back to the office.
