Secure Distributed Users

You have remote users, branch offices, hybrid work, contractors, or cloud apps and need a safer access model than a traditional VPN.

In short

Securing distributed users means protecting people, devices, applications, and data wherever users work - without relying only on a traditional office perimeter.

Why this matters

Work no longer happens behind one firewall. When access, identity, and device controls aren't unified, every remote user, contractor, and SaaS app becomes a potential entry point - and legacy VPNs make it worse, not better.

You may need this if…
  • Still relying on legacy VPN for remote access
  • Contractors and third parties have broad network access
  • Inconsistent MFA and device posture across the workforce
  • Cloud apps are accessed outside any central security policy

What good looks like

Identity-driven, least-privilege access to apps (not the whole network)
Consistent MFA, SSO, and device posture everywhere
SASE/ZTNA replacing flat VPN access
Unified policy across users, branches, and cloud apps

Frequently asked

What's the difference between VPN, ZTNA, and SASE?

VPN puts users on the network; ZTNA grants access to specific apps based on identity and device posture; SASE bundles ZTNA with secure web gateway, CASB, and SD-WAN as a cloud service. The trend is from VPN toward ZTNA/SASE.

How do we protect contractors?

Give contractors least-privilege, time-bound access to only the apps they need - never the whole network - with MFA and device checks. ZTNA makes this practical to enforce and revoke.

What should replace legacy remote access?

Most organizations replace flat VPN with ZTNA/SASE, phased by user group so there's no disruption. We design the model and migrate you off VPN in stages.
