From VPN to Zero Trust: Modernizing Remote Access with ZTNA

On-Demand (February 26, 2026 @ 8 AM PT)
With Dhiraj Sehgal, Sr. Director, Product Marketing; Paddy

Remote access has become a critical pillar of modern business—but many organizations are still relying on legacy VPN technology built for a very different era. As these VPN solutions approach end of life (EOL), small and midsize enterprises are facing growing security risks, rising operational complexity, and a remote access experience that no longer meets user expectations. Meanwhile, hybrid work and SaaS-driven environments have pushed traditional VPN architectures past their limits—resulting in latency, backhauling, and inconsistent connectivity that burden both end users and IT teams.

In this session designed for security and network leaders, we’ll explore how Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) provides a modern, secure alternative to VPNs—and serves as the on-ramp to a broader Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) strategy. You’ll learn:

• Where legacy VPN architectures break down in cloud-first and hybrid environments
• How ZTNA delivers secure, application-level access while paving the way for SASE adoption
• The key ZTNA capabilities required to support a future-ready SASE architecture
• How unified ZTNA enforces continuous trust with user and device verification plus inline threat protection
• A step-by-step migration strategy to move from VPN to ZTNA with minimal disruption and no downtime

Join the Versa team to see how SMEs are using ZTNA as their first step toward SASE—boosting performance, reducing operational strain, and strengthening security posture well before VPN EOL deadlines create urgency.
