Cloud VPNs offer benefits such as familiar technology, affordability, flexibility, and scalability compared to traditional business VPNs. They provide site-to-site and remote access cloud VPN services that connect a company's on-premises LANs to its public or private cloud networks, and remote access cloud VPN services that connect remote users to their on-premises, private cloud, or public cloud networks. Cloud VPNs address some of the performance and manageability issues of standard business VPNs but do not address the security weaknesses inherent to VPN technology. Many companies are turning to Zero Trust solutions as an alternative, which recognizes that trust is an illusion and challenges every connection attempt. Twingate uses software-defined perimeters (SDPs) to implement Zero Trust security, offering benefits such as a reduced attack surface, identity provider integration, rapid deployment, performant direct connections, better user experience, administrative simplicity, and monitoring and auditing capabilities.
