What is a VPN and does my business need one?
VPN
stands for Virtual Private Network. Without it, anything you do in a corporate
environment can be easily eavesdropped on by others on the internet. By adding
a secure VPN for your business, you can secure thousands of devices through a
single secure network at the same time. Every successful business utilizes a
VPN as a way to prevent their sensitive information from being leaked.
How do
VPN’s work?
Take an
email as an example. A single email can be sent in a matter of seconds but the
number of tiny routes it takes to cross the web and be delivered would shock
you. The VPN protects every one of your activities completed on the world wide
web and minimizes vulnerable attacks against your personal information and
business practices. Corporate VPN services are simple to implement and helps
keep your cloud and network a level of maximum privacy.
Difference
Between a traditional VPN and a Corporate VPN
It all
comes down to the level of security. By avoiding the replacement process of a
traditional VPN with a corporate VPN, you’re putting a target on your back for
the hackers who specifically attack companies with gaps in their security.
Traditional VPNs have difficulty adapting to the constant changes of an
enterprise, for example, additional device management and everchanging server
modifications as your business operations grow.
Increase
of Corporate VPN’s for Remote Workers
According
to Statista, “VPN usage in the United States has surged during the
coronavirus crisis, increasing 124 percent during the two weeks between March 8
and March 22, 2020.” The reason for this is simple. If your company’s employees
are connecting to their personal in-home network, they are opening up the
opportunity for hackers to take advantage of the fragility of these single
household security networks. The increase in corporate VPN’s is suggested to
continue to rise until things are completely back to normal where all remote
employees return to the office. Don’t put your company or employee’s personal
