From VPN to SASE: How Veeam Rethought Network Security with Island

Watch this 30-minute conversation with Veeam's IT and security leaders on replacing VPN, eliminating backhauling, and building a network security architecture that actually works for a globally distributed workforce.

The most useful perspective on a SASE decision usually comes from someone who has already made one. In this on-demand fireside chat, three of Veeam's IT and security leaders join Island Field CTO Michael Leland to share what their journey looked like in practice: what drove the decision, how deployment went, and what changed for users and the security team once Island was in place.

You’ll come away understanding:
  • Why traditional SASE architectures stall and what made Veeam's previous deployment impossible to fully activate
  • How Island's browser-native approach eliminates backhauling without sacrificing policy granularity
  • What it looks like to onboard 600 users in a day, including contractors and unmanaged devices
  • How Veeam is using Island to consolidate tools, including VPN, enterprise password manager, and Windows 365 VDI
  • How the Island Desktop agent extends visibility and control beyond the browser to thick clients and AI workloads
