Five Use Cases That Justify Ditching VPNs For Good
Security Brief, Wednesday, July 9th, 2025
or years, Virtual Private Networks (VPN) have been the go-to solution for secure remote access.Yet, as the digital landscape evolves, the very infrastructure that once offered protection is now proving to be a significant liability.
More than half (56%) of organisations experienced at least one VPN-related security incident in the past year, with many experiencing multiple breaches, making VPNs a primary attack vector.
Furthermore, backhauling non-local traffic through the VPN just to access the internet leads to poor user experience, high costs, and complex routing. In fact, 22% of users complain about slow connection speeds, and 19% are frustrated by complex authentication processes with VPNs. IT teams also find balancing performance (21%) and constant troubleshooting (18%) to be top VPN headaches.
