Cloudbrink’s Personal SASE service secures your VPN
Zero-day vulnerabilities are emerging as a persistent and troubling issue for legacy VPN solutions, as seen in the most recent exploit affecting Ivanti and Fortinet products. While the Ivanti vulnerability remains only partially patched at the time of writing, it follows a troubling trend of critical security weaknesses in Ivanti and other legacy IPSec gateways. For organizations relying on these outdated technologies, the risks are too significant to ignore.
Legacy VPNs such as Fortinet, Ivanti, Cisco and Palo Alto are not just insecure—they are a growing liability. They are difficult to manage and operate, underperform when measured against modern workloads, and fail to meet the needs of today’s secure, agile infrastructures. It’s time to rethink your strategy. Cloudbrink’s innovative Personal SASE service offers a seamless, future-proof alternative that eliminates the risks of zero-day vulnerabilities. The service works with and secures current VPN gateways be they hardware of software appliances.
The Problem with Legacy VPNs
The recent Ivanti zero-day vulnerability, which allows unauthorized access to systems, is a case in point. Ivanti’s track record of security flaws, including a similarly critical exploit last year, demonstrates the inherent risks of relying on legacy IPsec VPN solutions. These systems are increasingly unable to meet modern performance standards, leaving businesses exposed to both operational inefficiencies and major security breaches.
Even outside of Ivanti, the traditional IPSec Gateway is ill-equipped for the demands of modern remote work and cloud infrastructure. These outdated solutions lack the ability to scale securely and efficiently, and patching vulnerabilities often becomes a slow and uncertain process.
Organizations cannot afford to wait for half-solutions that, based on past experience, may only provide incremental and incomplete fixes. It’s clear that businesses need a safer, faster, and more reliable approach to secure access.
Enter Cloudbrink’s Personal SASE Solution
Included with Cloudbrink Personal SASE service is Cloudbrink’s Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) platform. It is designed to eliminate the shortcomings of legacy VPNs. Based on secure architectural principles like Deny-by-Default, Dark Network techniques, and Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD), Cloudbrink provides a superior alternative that is secure by design.
Here’s how Cloudbrink stands apart from traditional solutions and delivers immediate and lasting protection against zero-day vulnerabilities:
Rapid Mitigation Against Zero-Day Exploits
Cloudbrink understands the urgency of mitigating vulnerabilities like Ivanti’s zero-day issues. Waiting for patches from legacy VPN vendors can leave organizations exposed for weeks or months. With Cloudbrink, you gain the ability to deploy Zero Trust policies within minutes. Instead of reacting to vulnerabilities, you can proactively secure your environment.
Frictionless Transition
Moving away from legacy VPNs doesn’t have to be complex or resource-intensive. Cloudbrink offers a seamless transition with no infrastructure changes required on your end. Our ZTNA solution integrates effortlessly with existing authentication services such as Okta, Entra, Ping, and others. It operates without the need for additional deployments in your cloud or data center.
Enhanced Security for Legacy VPN Gateways
For businesses still using IPSec Gateways, Cloudbrink provides an immediate layer of protection while you can plan for a full transition and enjoy even more security. By leveraging our secure IPSec gateway adapter, organizations can restrict access to their gateways using the following steps:
- Restrict Tunnel Creation: Only Cloudbrink’s Adapter is authorized to establish tunnels with your IPSec Gateway, preventing unauthorized external connections.
- IP Whitelisting: Only Cloudbrink’s IPs are allowed to connect to your gateway, effectively blocking malicious attempts from other clients or services.
This approach not only mitigates currently known vulnerabilities but also pre-empts future zero-day exploits targeting these weak points.The Cloudbrink service when used with your VPN gateways provides you the ability to transition away from your legacy VPN entirely.
Cloudbrink provides dark components called “Cloudbrink Connectors” that do not expose any listening endpoints preventing any outside in exploits of exposed endpoints. This component in your Datacenter will completely replace your existing IPSEC Gateways.
