The Drawbacks of Traditional VPNs
Why VPNs Fall Short: Legacy Security and Network-Wide Access Risks
Traditional VPNs create a secure gateway into an entire network, a model akin to a “castle with a drawbridge” that trusts all activity within its walls. While once effective as the only alternative to more expensive dedicated circuits, this model is outdated in today’s cloud-based, globally distributed work environments, with threat actors continually scanning the internet for any exploitable flaws. VPNs enable network-wide access, exposing companies to greater risks of unauthorized access and breaches. As organizations scale and require agile, secure access, VPNs become cumbersome and expensive to manage while simultaneously creating security gaps that today’s hackers can easily exploit.

Embracing Zero Trust Networking (ZTN) with NetFoundry
NetFoundry’s Zero Trust Approach: Trust Nothing, Verify Everything
NetFoundry’s Zero Trust Networking (ZTN) model shifts the security paradigm by assuming no inherent trust in the network. Every access attempt is independently authenticated and authorized, creating a secure foundation tailored for modern, distributed workforces. By moving beyond the outdated perimeter-based security of VPNs, NetFoundry ensures that only verified users access specific applications and resources, never the whole network.

Why NetFoundry’s Zero Trust AppNets Surpass VPNs in Security, Performance, and Cost
Security
NetFoundry provides application-level access rather than exposing an entire network. This granular approach limits exposure, keeps resources hidden from public view, and protects them from unauthorized probing or external threats.
Performance
By eliminating “backhauling,” NetFoundry allows traffic to flow directly through split tunneling, minimizing latency and ensuring faster, more responsive connections compared to traditional VPNs.
Ease of Use
Unlike VPNs that require manual toggling and specific server selection, NetFoundry’s solution is easy to deploy and user-friendly. Minimal user interaction is needed, offering a seamless, frictionless experience.
Cost Efficiency
As a cloud-native, software-based solution, NetFoundry lowers hardware and administrative costs, streamlining management and reducing the overhead associated with VPN infrastructure.
No Lateral Movement
No Backhauling
No Scannable Ports
No Complex ACL Files
