Upgrade from Microsoft Always On VPN to Global Secure Access

A modern solution for today’s hybrid workforce

Upgrade to Global Secure Access with Logicalis for a seamless, secure, and scalable remote access solution—eliminating VPN complexities while enhancing security and performance.

A smarter way to Secure Remote Access

In today’s interconnected world, secure and reliable access to corporate resources is paramount. While Microsoft’s Always on VPN has been a staple for many organisations, many of these deployments are reaching end of life and there is now a superior solution available: Global Secure Access (GSA) with Logicalis.

Microsoft Entra Private Access is Microsoft’s ZTNA solution, designed to replace AoVPN with a cloud-native, identity-based approach. It eliminates the need for VPN tunnels, improves security, and simplifies remote access management, allowing employees and third parties to connect seamlessly from anywhere while maintaining strict security controls. 

How it works: Seamless, secure and scalable

Tightly integrated with the Microsoft 365 and Entra platform, Global Secure Access (GSA) provides secure and seamless connectivity by using real-time threat intelligence, multi-factor authentication, and end-to-end encryption. This solution dynamically scales to meet changing demands and simplifies network management with a centralised console. Moreover, GSA helps organisations stay compliant with regulatory requirements through detailed reporting and audit trails, ensuring robust protection and streamlined administration.

By integrating seamlessly with Microsoft Entra ID and Conditional Access, the solution continuously evaluates security signals such as user location, device compliance, and login behaviour to make intelligent access decisions. This means remote workers, contractors, and third parties can securely connect to corporate applications without relying on a VPN tunnel, reducing latency, improving performance, and minimising security risks. 

Why now? The challenges of Legacy VPN

The way businesses operate has changed, but legacy remote access solutions have not kept up. Always On VPN (AoVPN) was designed for a world where users worked primarily on corporate networks, not in today’s hybrid, cloud-first environment. As organisations continue to embrace flexible work models, IT teams are struggling with VPN performance issues, complex infrastructure management, and increased security risks from broad network access.

As cyber threats escalate by 30% annually and regulations tighten, businesses face immense pressure to secure digital assets. Traditional solutions like Microsoft’s Always on VPN are outdated and no longer enough, prompting the need for advanced security. Global Secure Access (GSA) meets this demand by integrating with Microsoft 365 and Entra platforms, offering enhanced security, compliance, and operational efficiency. 

Enhanced Security

Global Secure Access offers a multi-layered security architecture that includes advanced threat protection mechanisms. Unlike Always on VPN, which primarily secures the connection, GSA incorporates threat intelligence, behavioural analytics, and real-time monitoring.

Operational Efficiency

Existing AoVPN solutions require a large IT infrastructure footprint including complex to manage and maintain load balancers and on-premises servers. With GSA, IT administrators can easily configure, monitor, and manage network policies from a single interface, simplifying the administrative burden

Secure Access without VPN complexity

No more managing VPN servers, certificates, or split tunnels. This solution connects users directly to applications, reducing attack surfaces and eliminating the risks of overprivileged network access.
