VPNs, or Virtual Private Networks, are vastly different from networks built with Zero Trust architecture. VPNs are a site-centric solution that enables organizations to create secure, encrypted tunnels between remote employees and crucial network resources. Access via a VPN signifies that the user is automatically trusted with these resources, while Zero Trust networking is a security model that removes the idea of trust. This means privileged network access and policy-based segmentation but also constant monitoring of all individuals on the network, regardless of their status or role.

Once you have created a Network, you can easily edit the name, tags, and icon of your Network to help you identify the different purposes and/or teams your network will support.

1. To edit your Network, select the Networks tab in the Management Portal. Select the three-dotted menu (...) to the right of your Network.

2. Make the changes and click Save.

Follow the steps to create a network.

1. Select Create Network on the Networks tab.
2. Fill in the following:

- Network Name: An indicative name for the Network you are building. For example, HQ, Finance, or Staging.
- Icon: Use the default or select an icon of your choice.
- Region: Region is the physical location where the gateway will be deployed. Choose one or more regions from the available regions listed (Europe, North America, East Asia, Australia, and Israel).
- Gateways: The number of gateways you want to deploy in a particular region. Having multiple gateways enables high availability and a better load balance. The number of gateways should not exceed the number of available licenses.
- Network Tags: Use tags to help identify the different purposes and/or teams your Network will support.
- Subnet: Optional. If the subnet is not specified, it will receive a default value of 10.255.0.0/16.

After defining your Network specifications, you can see your Network being created.

After the Network is successfully created, it will appear in the Networks tab.

Your new Network allows you to edit or delete customized networks that are multi-regional and interconnected to your cloud and on-premise environments.

1. To delete your Network, select the Networks tab in the Management Portal. Select the three-dotted menu (...) to the right of your Network.

2. Select the Delete Network option to delete the Network.

Remote users need easy access to web applications, but relying on traditional VPNs solutions can create significant security risks. If bad actors can gain access through the SSL VPN, they have free reign over your entire network. You need a contextual security solution to meet zero trust requirements while enabling BYOD and access to apps deployed in a cloud. Citrix Workspace provides a secure space to work by enabling users to remotely access web applications deployed on premises using any device—without needing to access the entire network.
