Re-writing the VPN Replacement Playbook for Modern Security 

Written by Jessica Johannes | Jun 4, 2026 2:39:48 PM

 VPN replacement has become a priority for security and IT leaders for good reason.

VPNs were built for a different era – before hybrid workforce teams, cloud applications, distributed infrastructure, and modern attacks made them one of the most targeted attack surfaces in the enterprise. In 2025, VPNs and the firewalls they terminate on were among the most targeted attack surface in the enterprise.

While many organizations have turned to conventional Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) to replace VPNs, most ZTNA solutions don’t address a core security risk. They focus on who is connecting and not what is moving through the session. That leaves a major security gap where inadequate threat inspection only detects a threat (If it detects it at all), when it is in your environment and costly damage has begun.

In The VPN Replacement Playbook: How Trinity Cyber Delivers Real Zero Trust, Trinity Cyber breaks down why VPNs and conventional ZTNA solutions still leave organizations exposed to constantly evolving threats.

Inside the ebook, readers will learn:

  • Why VPNs have become one of the most targeted attack surfaces in the enterprise
  • Why “just adding ZTNA” does not fully solve the threat defense problem
  • How Full Content Inspection™ (FCI) enables preemptive threat defense by inspecting and removing malicious content in real time
  • What a modern, preemptive approach to zero trust remote access looks like

For organizations rethinking remote access security, this playbook offers a practical look at what comes after legacy VPNs — and why the future of zero trust requires more than access control alone.
