The End of the VPN: The Rise of
Identity-Based Secure Access
Explore why the industry is moving beyond VPNs and what comes next.

July 7, 2026

8 am PDT (3pm GMT)

60 min.

Presented in English with live translation available
Hundreds of MSPs joined our last webinar to discuss the growing security and operational challenges of remote-user VPNs. Since then, the headlines have only reinforced the problem. Fortinet. Ivanti. Palo Alto Networks. SonicWall. Different vendors, same challenge: critical vulnerabilities, credential theft, and ransomware attacks continue to target remote access infrastructure, forcing organizations into a cycle of emergency patching, user disruption, and increased risk.
The reality is that VPNs were designed for a world where users, devices, and applications lived inside a trusted network perimeter. Today's workforce operates everywhere, and attackers increasingly exploit that trust to gain access, move laterally, and compromise critical systems.
Join WatchGuard experts for a candid discussion on why organizations must rethink traditional remote access and how identity-based secure access is the modern approach to protecting users, applications, and data.
In this webinar, you'll learn:
Why VPN vulnerabilities continue to impact organizations regardless of vendor
How attackers exploit trusted remote access to gain a foothold and move laterally across networks
The hidden operational costs of maintaining, patching, troubleshooting, and scaling VPN infrastructure
Why identity, device posture, and continuous verification are replacing traditional network-based access models
How MSPs are modernizing remote access services to improve security, simplify management, and create new recurring revenue opportunities
