Connected Isn’t Protected: Why VPN Replacement Is Your First Step to Unified SASE

Your VPN connects remote users, but connectivity alone doesn’t deliver the consistent protection hybrid work demands. As legacy VPNs approach end of life, replacing remote access is an opportunity to rethink the security stack around it. 

Off the VPN, web protection can be inconsistent. Separate proxies add cost and complexity. And public GenAI tools create paths for sensitive data to leave the organization that file-based controls may miss. Replacing one product without addressing the surrounding stack leaves that complexity intact for already-stretched IT teams. 

In this session, Versa experts will show how to use VPN replacement as the first step toward Unified SASE. You’ll see how to bring ZTNA, secure web gateway (SWG), and GenAI data protection onto one platform, with one policy engine and one console, through a phased transition rather than a rip-and-replace. 

You’ll learn: 

• Where VPN access and a separate web proxy leave gaps in protection for hybrid users. 
• How ZTNA replaces broad network access with access to specific applications. 
• How to address GenAI data leakage using a discover, classify, control, and verify policy model. 
• How a lean IT team configured its tenant and client in hours, not weeks, using existing SSO and MFA. 
• How to apply a four-step roadmap to move from point products to Unified SASE in sequence. 

Designed for CISOs, security architects, and network and infrastructure leaders, this session connects the strategic case for consolidation with the practical steps to begin.
