Zero Trust Secure Access for Every Team Without Complexity

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides your business with a securely encrypted internet connection (or “tunnel”) to securely connect devices to business assets over otherwise unsecured networks. VPNs, like OpenVPN, work by masking your IP address and encrypting your internet traffic. VPN protection is an important piece of a layered security protocol that’s essential to protecting company data as well as an employee's personal data. Using a VPN service gives you the ability to remotely access important network resources and connect your company’s branches and locations worldwide. A zero trust VPN offers the tenets of zero trust built on the solid foundation of a VPN.

VPNs encrypt traffic, protect privacy, and enable secure remote access. A remote access VPN connection secures your internet connection when you work off-site (e.g., coffee shop, hotel, airport, or even a different country), and routes all of your sensitive network traffic through an encrypted tunnel. Routing the network traffic disguises your IP address when using the internet, replacing it with the location and an IP address from the VPN server making its location invisible. A VPN connection also secures against external breaches.

VPNs work by routing traffic through a private server. If you are using a self-managed VPN solution like Access Server, you can choose a physical server, or your VPN server can be hosted in cloud environments. VPN server resources can help you simplify setting up your own private server. Alternatively, you can choose a managed VPN solution, like CloudConnexa, which utilizes cloud-based servers managed by OpenVPN. In any case, the VPN will route all traffic through a server.

A business VPN creates a secure connection over the internet between your devices and your company's network. Essentially, a VPN creates a protected, encrypted tunnel through which your sensitive data can travel, providing protection from intruders and a virtual connection to your office network. Unlike a consumer VPN, which targets mainly personal users who are looking to protect traffic, access the internet anonymously, or possibly access resources from other regions, a business VPN is intended for remote and secure access to business resources on corporate private networks with centralized control capabilities.

OpenVPN offers two secure networking solutions for small, medium, and enterprise businesses like yours.

Access Server is best for businesses that prefer an on-prem VPN server or flexibility managing their full infrastructure through a cloud server. Choose CloudConnexa if you prefer a cloud-delivered, managed service.

A Zero Trust VPN uses a VPN as the foundation of zero trust network access. Access Server and CloudConnexa can be used to implement a zero trust network access solution that secures your network resources while limiting access to only what is necessary.

According to Gartner, “Zero trust network access (ZTNA) is a product or service that creates an identity- and context-based, logical access boundary around an application or set of applications.” Doing this hides the apps from discovery and restricts access using a trust broker and a set of named entities. The broker verifies users based on identity, context, and policies — and stops lateral movement in the network. Because application assets are removed from public visibility, potential attack surface is reduced.

ZTNA also relies on least privilege access, which means that employees should only have access to the programs and applications that are necessary to do their jobs. Using a VPN, you can enforce the tenets of ZTNA and build the foundation for the principle of least privilege.
