The Challenge
Many companies have hybrid IT environments with applications both on-premises and in the cloud. When choosing an IGA solution, secure and reliable on-premises connectivity is crucial.
Why VPN is the Best Option
Omada recommends a site-to-site VPN over a Cloud Application Gateway (CAG) for several reasons:
- Superior Security: VPNs leverage the robust IPsec protocol, offering encryption, authentication, and protection against data breaches. CAGs, with their proprietary software agents, introduce potential security vulnerabilities
- Unparalleled Performance: VPNs provide low latency and high performance due to their lightweight IPsec protocol. CAGs, operating at the application level, can degrade performance
- Unmatched Compatibility: VPNs work seamlessly with various network devices and support diverse protocols and applications. CAGs may have compatibility limitations across different vendors and platforms
- Effortless Management: VPNs are easy to deploy, maintain, and monitor. They leave no footprint on your network and require no frequent updates. CAGs demand more management effort due to their software installation and maintenance needs
- Lower Cost of Ownership: VPNs offer a lower total cost compared to CAGs. CAGs incur additional costs for configuration changes, patching, upgrades, and software layers
Security Breakdown: VPN vs. CAG
- VPN: Utilizes IPsec for secure communication, protecting data from interception, modification, and replay attacks
- CAG: Relies on a proprietary software agent, potentially introducing vulnerabilities
Performance Breakdown: VPN vs. CAG
- VPN: Leverages a lightweight IPsec protocol for efficient data transmission
- CAG: Operates at the application level, potentially adding processing layers and increasing latency
