Virtual Private Networks

Why we need VPNs?

Businesses are often plagued by security issues such as Wi-Fi spoofing, Firesheep, etc it’s important to keep online activity safe and private.
Business owners and even employees are telecommuting and/or working from virtual offices pretty much from any corner of the world, and often relying on unsecured public networks in the process. E.g. Often business owners or their employees work from a coffee shop, at times from the airport’s free Wi-Fi, but it can come at a big cost.

VPNs protect your data when online.They are popular with businesses as well as private individuals. VPNs use encryption protocols to create virtual P2P connections. If cybercriminals try to access data transmitted from your computer, encryption ensures they won’t be able to do anything with it. VPNs reduce the risk of security breaches and cyberattacks. By using a VPN, businesses keep employees off public networks, thereby decreasing the chances of your businesses being targeted. VPNs can also make customers feel secure about their information sent to businesses.

VPN technology lets businesses create a secure network connection for their work whilst over a public network.
