How is an enterprise VPN different?
A consumer VPN changes traffic routing. An enterprise VPN must manage identity, devices, destinations and permissions.
The connection becomes part of an access policy and should integrate with internal networks and security logs.
Minimum security controls
Multi-factor authentication, least-privilege access, segmentation, event logging and rapid access revocation are essential controls.
Connection health and error reporting matter just as much to IT teams.
Deploying on your own infrastructure
For sensitive organizations, on-premise deployment can provide more control over data and connectivity, provided it is paired with backups, monitoring and recovery planning.
