Yes, Zero Trust, specifically through the implementation of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) technology, is designed to replace traditional VPNs for secure remote access.

VPNs grant an inherently insecure level of access to a network.By contrast, ZTNA enforces the Zero Trust principle of least privilege, establishing encrypted, application-specific connections that eliminate broad network access, thereby removing the security risks and latency issues associated with legacy VPN architecture. ZTNA is the modern, cloud-era replacement for the VPN.
