Why VPN security is a growing concern?
Virtual private networks (VPNs) are a fundamental tool for securing remote access to corporate networks. However, they have become a prime target for cybercriminals. Attackers use automated tools to scan the internet for exposed VPN endpoints, looking for vulnerabilities to exploit.
Once a VPN is discovered, attackers can attempt brute force attacks, exploit zero-day vulnerabilities, or use stolen credentials to gain unauthorized access. This has led to serious breaches, including data theft, ransomware attacks, and network infiltration.
The problem: VPNs are visible and attackable
Even the most well-configured VPNs have one inherent flaw – they must be accessible to authorized users, which means they are also visible to attackers. This visibility creates an attack surface that cybercriminals can exploit.
Common threats to VPN security:
- VPN scanning & discovery – Hackers continuously scan for open VPN endpoints to find targets.
- Zero-day vulnerabilities – Attackers exploit unknown security flaws before patches are available.
- Brute force & credential stuffing – If an attacker knows a VPN exists, they can attempt to crack passwords or reuse stolen credentials.
- Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks – Exposed VPNs can be intercepted, allowing attackers to steal sensitive data.
The solution: make your VPN invisible with Secfense Ghost
Secfense Ghost eliminates the visibility of VPNs on the internet, making them completely inaccessible to unauthorized users. Unlike traditional security measures that focus on strengthening authentication or monitoring traffic, Ghost works by removing the attack surface entirely.
How Secfense Ghost works
- Hides VPN endpoints – VPNs are invisible to unauthorized users, preventing scanning and discovery.
- Dynamic access control – Only authenticated users receive access to the VPN, reducing exposure.
- Zero trust network access (ZTNA) integration – Ensures access is granted based on identity, not network location.
- Zero-day attack protection – Even if a new vulnerability is discovered, attackers can’t exploit it if they can’t find the VPN.
Key benefits of Secfense Ghost
✔ Prevents VPN scanning and discovery – Attackers cannot target what they cannot see.
✔ Enhances zero trust security – Access is dynamically controlled, reducing the risk of unauthorized entry.
✔ No changes to existing VPN infrastructure – Works with major VPN providers like Fortinet and Palo Alto without modifications.
✔ Automated security response – Ghost can remain passive and instantly activate when a threat is detected.
Use cases: who needs Secfense Ghost?
1. Enterprises securing remote workforces
Organizations with remote employees rely heavily on VPNs. Ghost ensures that only verified users can access VPNs while keeping them hidden from attackers.
2. Critical infrastructure & government networks
Public sector organizations and critical infrastructure providers are prime targets for cyberattacks. Ghost protects their internal systems from being exposed.
3. Companies responding to zero-day vulnerabilities
When a new VPN vulnerability is disclosed, security teams rush to patch it. With Ghost, VPNs remain hidden, preventing attackers from exploiting unpatched systems.
How to implement Secfense Ghost in your organization?
Deploying Ghost is simple and does not require replacing existing security tools. It integrates with your current VPN and firewall setup as an additional security layer.
Steps to get started:
- Assess your VPN exposure – Identify if your VPN endpoints are publicly accessible.
- Deploy Secfense Ghost – Install Ghost as an additional security layer over existing VPNs.
- Enable dynamic whitelisting – Ensure only authorized users can access the VPN.
- Monitor and automate security responses – Ghost can dynamically adjust access based on threats.
Conclusion: future-proof your VPN security with Secfense Ghost
VPNs are a necessary part of modern business operations, but they don’t have to be a security risk. By making VPNs invisible to attackers, Secfense Ghost eliminates a major entry point for cybercriminals.
If you’re concerned about VPN security, zero-day threats, or network exposure, Secfense Ghost is the solution you need.
