Virtual Private Networking (VPN) allows businesses to take advantage of the Internet and affordable broadband transmissions for secure, private communications between partners, remote offices, telecommuters and traveling employees. VPN technology ensures privacy by encrypting data, authenticating identities, and excluding unauthorized listeners. A VPN allows private connections to be established from almost anywhere in the world. Unprotected Internet communications engender serious security risks for business. Hackers can seek out and capture data that is traveling over the Internet, read it or use it maliciously, and even penetrate your network. However, concerns about VPN management complexities and a lack of remote security expertise are keeping many businesses from making full use of VPN technology, and even discounting its use altogether. Mobile User VPN allows telecommuters or traveling employees to access the corporate network while maintaining privacy and security. Mobile User VPN encrypts sessions, preventing eavesdropping. Another common problem that can occur with remote users is the deposit of malicious code on their laptops while they are outside the company firewall. A good MUVPN solution must be integrated with anti-virus software on the laptop, making it less susceptible to attack.
