What is a VPN?
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technology that creates a secure, encrypted connection between a user and a network over the internet. It protects data in transit and masks the user's IP address.
VPNs rely on protocols such as Transport Layer Security (TLS) and IPsec to ensure secure communication.
What is a VPN used for?
VPNs are used to secure remote access, protect sensitive data, and maintain privacy. They are widely used in enterprise environments and by individuals to prevent Packet Sniffing and unauthorized access.
Organizations use VPNs alongside Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) to support secure remote work and improve Security Posture.
