Security has been at the forefront of discussions at the past few KubeCons I’ve attended. It’s clear that businesses and organizations are increasingly focused on keeping their infrastructure as secure as possible. Security breaches aren't just caused by external factors; they can also result from internal misconfigurations.
While VPNs play a role in limiting and securing access, the complexity of maintaining security grows as networks scale and integrate more resources. Kubernetes, for instance, offers features like RBAC, but configuring them within a Kubernetes cluster can be challenging. To navigate these challenges, many businesses turn to various VPN services on the market. However, traditional VPN setups often grant users access to the entire network, which can pose security risks.
I've seen the Twingate team shipping a lot, always so busy because the landscape demands it. They provide a modern solution by leveraging zero trust principles, allowing businesses to implement more granular access control, enhance security, and improve user experiences without the overhead of traditional VPNs.
