Expanding Third-Party VPN Control for Stronger Corporate Network Protection

Unauthorized VPN usage can pose a serious risk to corporate networks. Employees or other users may unknowingly tunnel malicious traffic or bypass critical security policies with unsanctioned third-party VPN solutions. ThreatSTOP is committed to helping organizations tackle these concerns by providing precise and customizable VPN control within our Protective DNS and IP Defense platforms.

We are excited to announce expanded coverage of third-party VPN providers. The following additions are now part of our growing lineup for more granular VPN control:

• BoxPN

Each provider is assigned its own “target” inside our threat intelligence infrastructure. That means you have the flexibility to select which VPNs to block or allow based on your organization’s needs. By using ThreatSTOP’s DNS Defense Cloud or DNS Defense on-premises solutions, you can proactively enforce these VPN restrictions at the DNS level. Meanwhile, IP Defense enables you to manage network blocks at the IP layer on firewalls, routers, or other IP-based systems.

Why Third-Party VPN Control Matters

• Mitigate unauthorized data exfiltration: Unsanctioned VPNs can create hidden channels for moving sensitive data out of the network.

• Prevent policy bypass: Users might unintentionally or intentionally bypass corporate security policies when using unapproved VPNs.

• Enhance visibility: Knowing which VPNs connect to your network gives you deeper insight into potential threat vectors.

The protections used to block or allow these VPNs are crafted by the ThreatSTOP Security, Intelligence, and Research (SIR) team. They not only address VPN control, but also shield against malware command and control, invalid traffic, peer-to-peer communications, data exfiltration, phishing, spam, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) activity, and more.
