Remote Access Security: The Dangers of VPN

This blog-style report critiques widespread VPN use for remote work, detailing security risks such as excessive permissions, weak authentication, insecure endpoints, appliance single points of failure, known VPN vulnerabilities (including a cited March 2020 campaign exploiting VPN CVEs), split-tunneling risks, scalability limits, and limited visibility. It recommends adopting SASE with integrated ZTNA (highlighting Cato Networks' platform) as a scalable, security-focused alternative for long-term remote access.
