How to Migrate From Legacy VPNs to Entra Private Access (Real Strategies From a Veteran)
In this episode, veteran enterprise consultant Richard Hicks walks through the evolution from legacy Microsoft remote access solutions—DirectAccess and Always On VPN—to Microsoft Entra Private Access, a zero‑trust, identity‑centric alternative. He explains how DirectAccess introduced seamless, machine‑level connectivity but was limited by domain dependencies, and how Always On VPN improved flexibility yet still relied on broad network access. Hicks details the practical migration path using Entra Private Access’s Quick Access and Global Secure Access client, which can run alongside existing VPNs without disruption, allowing organizations to transition gradually to granular zero‑trust policies. He also highlights the security benefits of eliminating routable IP assignments and reducing exposure to compromised endpoints.
