VPN is often “all or nothing”: once in, too much is possible. This use case modernises remote access: you move from broad network access to targeted access to applications and systems. Goal: within 60 days, less risk from broad access and remote access that runs cleanly in daily operations.
If you’d like, we’ll show you the principle in a short demo, together with our technology partner.
VPN has grown historically and often opens entire networks. That’s convenient but risky: lateral movement becomes easier, exceptions accumulate, and audit/offboarding becomes painful. At the same time, teams don’t want to lose remote access.
We cut access down to what’s needed: applications/systems instead of network surfaces. We start with a pilot for a clear user group, define policies and then roll out in a controlled way. For particularly sensitive systems, we apply time windows (JIT) instead of standing access where appropriate. In the end, access is tighter but practical for daily work – and you can revoke it quickly when risk changes.
Typical timeframe: 2–4 weeks until pilot, then rollout in waves.
Define target picture & pilot group
Define applications/systems for access
Build policies/roles
Take pilot live, incorporate feedback
Rollout in waves + verification
Does this have to be “big bang”?
No. Pilot → waves. This keeps operations stable.
What’s the biggest security gain?
Less lateral movement and faster shutdown when risk arises.
How do you prevent shadow solutions?
By making it easier for users than workarounds – and properly involving support.
Can VPN be fully switched off?
Often yes, but step by step. The goal is risk down, not ideology.
Let’s modernise remote access so it’s secure – and still works.
