It's different from a VPN because it includes a notion of identity (you don't just know I'm on the corporate network, you know I'm asdfhero). It is very similar to Google's BeyondCorp strategy though.

VPNs also have a notion of identity. You don't join the network just because you know the IP address of the VPN server.
