Virtual Private Networks
What is a Virtual Private
Network(VPN)?
A VPN is a private connection between two machines or
networks over a shared or public network. VPN
technology lets an organization securely extend its
network services over the Internet to remote users,
branch offices, and partner companies. VPNs turn the
Internet into a simulated private WAN.
Growing numbers of remote and mobile workers require
secure global connectivity. This is leading to explosive
growth in encrypted and authenticated VPN technology.
This rapidly advancing technology allows organizations
to extend their network service over the Internet to
branch offices and traveling or teleworking users
thereby creating a virtual private WAN via the Internet.
