Why we left our corporate VPN for Twingate
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We were looking for a solution that was easy to implement, could scale well with network traffic, and improve our security posture. We were sensitive to the last point as a security company ourselves. VPNs have a publicly facing attack surface that the Twingate architecture eliminates. We use Twingate for private access to an on-prem network as well as cloud VPCs in AWS.
Pros
- Eliminates public attack surfaces
- Granular least-privilege access
- Fast & Reliable - our international teams have a much faster connection between their machines and our network resources, esp. on the ones on the cloud
- Easy to deploy & manage - we were able to convert the entire organization to use Twingate in 24hrs
Cons
- The solution doesn't have access control to servers at the port level (yet)
