A virtual private network or VPN is essential for companies who want to provide secure, reliable access to their network for employees. Unfortunately, VPNs are a classic example of a solution to one problem that creates others. VPN connections can be difficult to set up and troubleshoot in hybrid and multicloud applications, particularly in sprawling enterprise networks.
Aviatrix’s newest offering, the Aviatrix Secure Network Supervisor Agent, uses the power of AI and an integration with Microsoft Copilot for Security to simplify and secure VPN connections. Learn how this integration streamlines management while restoring full control to networking teams.
VPNs: A Security Solution That Creates New Challenges
VPNs are popular with enterprise companies because they protect sensitive data and provide user anonymity. However, VPNs bring problems of their own. IT departments may frequently find themselves trying to troubleshoot VPNs across time zones and locations.
Operational Friction and Delays
Slow connections, lost passwords, certificate errors, firewall interference, and other potential issues can cause VPN downtimes that prevent employees from logging into systems or easily accessing data they need, slowing down your entire company’s productivity. Troubleshooting VPN issues becomes a significant operational burden.
Security Blind Spots and Risk of Data Breaches
When the issue is misconfigured VPN tunnels, the result can be a security threat to your whole network. Unpatched VPN Software or Split Tunneling misconfigurations allow for unencrypted traffic to bypass security controls, creating significant security breaches that put customer data and risk and can result in millions of dollars in penalties.
Aviatrix Secure Network Supervisor Agent: AI Intelligence for Fine-Tuned Control
The Aviatrix Secure Network Supervisor resolves complex VPN challenges by monitoring specific VPN connections for errors and misconfigurations, then uses GenAI to speed up the troubleshooting and remediation process. You can easily enable the agent through Aviatrix CoPolit and choose the level of autonomy you want it to have: simple alerts, resetting connections when they’re down, or requesting user input to run advanced troubleshooting flows using Aviatrix FlightPath.
When you set up the agent to run advanced troubleshooting, the agent will reference user input against a trained large language model (LLM) that has incorporated the health data from a specific connection, along with any relevant log messages.
