VPNs are a weak link in any OT cloud strategy -

2024 Attacks

For the last several years, the smart advice has been to replace VPNs with a Secure Access Services Edge.

``VPNs came out at the same time as Palm Pilots during Derek Jeter's first season with the Yankees. VPNs are old technology for which bad actors have found and continue to find lots of vulnerabilities. What you really need is secure remote access with a software-defined perimeter that is more secure, costs you less, and is more effective for your Zero Trust strategy.``

- Greg Touhill speaking about OT. Mr Touhill was the first United States Chief Information Security Officer at the White House, and is the current director of CERT at Carnegie Mellon University -

Now, throughout 2024, VPNs of all kinds were under attack. Bad actors, even state actors know that with VPNs, one guessed or stolen password gains access to everything else on the network - unless Zero Trust is in place from the inside out.

View Secure Edge is the Zero Trust platform for OT that requires no rip and replace of other OT systems and no new skills from the OT technicians.
