Replacing Traditional VPNs with Segura® Domum: A Modern Approach Integrated with Microsoft Entra ID

Securing remote access is a growing challenge for organizations of all sizes.

Although widely used, traditional VPNs present several limitations, such as management complexity, inherent vulnerabilities, and lack of granularity in access control.

A more modern and secure approach can be achieved with Segura® Domum, in combination with Microsoft Entra ID and its advanced features, such as Conditional Access, Single Sign-On (SSO), and Intune.

Challenges of Traditional VPNs

Conventional VPNs operate by connecting remote users to entire corporate networks, creating risks of lateral movement and requiring intensive manual configuration.

Other common problems include:

• User Experience: Need for installation and configuration of VPN clients.
• Security: Attacks such as credential theft, man-in-the-middle, and compromised infected devices.
• Scalability: Difficulty supporting rapid growth and hybrid/multicloud environments.
  
  

Segura® Domum: Zero Trust, PAM, and Secure Access

Segura® Domum is a solution that implements the Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) model, replacing traditional VPNs with a conditional and granular access approach.

Additionally, Domum is accompanied by Segura®'s Privileged Access Management (PAM), which adds powerful security functionalities, such as:

• Just-in-Time Access: Users receive access only for the necessary time and upon authorization.
• Granular Access Policies: Define which users can access which systems, without exposing the entire network.
• Session Recording: Monitor and audit all activities performed by privileged users.
• Credential Management: Secure storage, automatic rotation, and elimination of shared credential usage.
• Auditing and Monitoring: Detailed logging of all activities and sessions, facilitating compliance and incident response.
  
  

Integration with Microsoft Entra for Secure Access

Microsoft Entra ID enhances Segura® Domum, enabling a secure and simplified experience with:

1. Single Sign-On (SSO)

Integration with Entra ID allows for single sign-on (SSO), eliminating the need for multiple credentials and reducing risks of phishing and weak passwords.

2. Conditional Access

 Apply policies to restrict access based on factors such as:

• Geographic location
• Device compliance status
• Type of multi-factor authentication (MFA)

3. Trusted Workstation Assurance with Microsoft Intune

Microsoft Intune can be used to ensure that only managed and compliant corporate devices access Segura® Domum, blocking insecure or compromised endpoints.

Benefits of Adoption

Replacing traditional VPNs with Segura® Domum, integrated with Microsoft Entra, provides:

• Improved Security: Reduced risk of cyberattacks, minimized attack surface, and stronger authentication.
• Protection of Privileged Access: Full control and traceability through Segura®'s PAM.
• Better User Experience: Simple access without the need for VPN clients.
• Governance and Compliance: Detailed reporting and full audit trails for regulatory requirements.
• Scalability and Flexibility: Support for hybrid and multicloud environments without complex infrastructure.
  
  

Conclusion

Digital transformation requires modernizing remote access security.

Replacing traditional VPNs with Segura® Domum, integrated with Microsoft Entra, offers a Zero Trust model combined with the advanced features of Segura®'s PAM—delivering security, compliance, and a better experience for users and administrators.
