Survey reveals inadequate security is the number one VPN pain point
DH2i, provider of multi-platform Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) and Smart Availability software, announced the results of its premier Virtual Private Network (VPN) survey of IT professionals across small-, mid- and enterprise-sized organizations. To qualify, the respondent had to be using a VPN for network access and/or security measure. The survey findings revealed that universally, respondents advised that using a VPN created a number of problems for their organization. Topping the list, 62% of respondents cited inadequate security as their number one VPN pain point.
The goal of the research, conducted prior to the COVID-19 stay-at-home guidance, was to understand the challenges being faced by IT professionals charged with deploying and managing VPNs, as well as what new capabilities they would find beneficial. The next phase of this research, already underway, will examine how today’s work from home (WFH) paradigm has shifted the data security and VPN landscape.
