Webinar Description
Key Takeaways
- Addresses the operational, security and performance limitations of legacy VPNs in cloud and hybrid environments
- Positions ZTNA as a practical first step toward full SASE adoption
- Provides a step-by-step migration plan designed to minimize disruption during the transition
- Aimed at security leaders, network architects and IT directors in small and midsize enterprises
About the Webinar
This live webinar from Versa Networks examines why traditional VPN architectures are reaching end of life as organizations shift to cloud-first and remote work models. The session is led by product marketing and systems engineering specialists who focus on the practical challenges of maintaining legacy remote access infrastructure, including security blind spots, increased latency, operational complexity and growing support burdens.
From VPN to Zero Trust Network Access
The webinar explores how Zero Trust Network Access differs from perimeter-based VPN security by enforcing least-privilege, application-level access rather than broad network connectivity. Key ZTNA capabilities covered include continuous user and device verification, integrated threat protection and readiness for broader SASE integration. The session explains how these capabilities address the security gaps that emerge when VPNs are stretched beyond their original design parameters.
SASE Architecture and Related Technologies
Beyond ZTNA, the webinar references the wider SASE technology stack, including SD-WAN, CASB, SWG, DLP, RBI, DEM, NGFW, ATP, UEBA and AI Security. This context helps attendees understand how an initial ZTNA deployment can serve as a foundation for consolidating multiple security and networking functions into a unified architecture.
Who Should Attend
The session is designed for CISOs, IT managers, network and security engineers and decision-makers responsible for network infrastructure in organizations undergoing digital transformation or cloud migration. Those evaluating VPN replacement strategies or planning SASE adoption will find the migration guidance particularly relevant.
