Welcome to the VPN Risk Survey! As VPNs become a double-edged sword, providing essential remote access but posing security risks, we aim to reassess VPN usage and zero trust strategies. 

This survey is designed to understand how organizations manage VPN infrastructure and risks, and plan for secure remote access. Your insights will help identify trends, best practices, and guide VPN strategies.

Please take time to respond below. Your responses are confidential and will become part of the VPN Risk Report in aggregate form. Thank you for your contribution; we look forward to sharing the findings.
