For many years, the corporate VPN has been regarded as more of a necessary evil than a treasured part of the business’ IT estate; although VPN appliances were vital for allowing employees to access corporate tools and resources while outside the office, they were slow, cumbersome and frustrating to use. They’re also often ill-suited to the high demands placed on them by the modern SaaS applications relied on by many businesses.
