Although most organizations still use VPN services, they face certain limitations. 92% are concerned that a VPN would compromise their secure environment. 81% are dissatisfied with the user experience and 56% state that they are looking for an alternative to traditional VPN solutions. Gorazd then talked about possible alternatives to VPNs and introduced other HPE Networking security solutions.
