If your organization is clinging to “free” licenses from the likes of Cisco AnyConnect or Palo Alto Networks GlogalProtect licenses bundled with your firewall, it’s time to ask the hard question: What’s the real cost? While those VPN licenses may seem like a budget-friendly choice, the truth is they're costing you in performance, productivity, support, and risk exposure.

In contrast, a modern cloud-first, edge native platform like Cloudbrink’s Personal SASE eliminates the hidden operational and security overhead associated with legacy VPN—and delivers simplicity, security, and speed as core design principles. The result: drastically lower support costs, improved user productivity, faster deployments, and a dramatically stronger security posture.
