Virtual Private Networks
Flexible working and in particular, working from home has become increasingly widespread, and many companies now find their virtual private network (VPN) invaluable.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a secure connection that enables users to access a private network remotely over the public internet. VPNs encrypt all data transmitted between the user’s device and the private network, making it difficult for unauthorised users to intercept the data.
By using a VPN, businesses can provide remote workers with secure access to their network resources, such as files, printers, and applications, allowing them to work from anywhere with an internet connection. VPNs can also protect against data breaches and other security incidents, ensuring the privacy and confidentiality of sensitive information. By choosing a reputable VPN provider, like Fusion, and properly configuring the VPN, businesses can enhance their technology infrastructure and improve the security, privacy, and efficiency of their remote work practices.
This proliferation of VPNs increased significantly during the COVID-19 Pandemic and to some degree has become a new way of life.
These networks provide secure access to your server from anywhere with an internet connection, so if you need a little peace and quiet to meet your deadlines, or are working away from the office, you can work in exactly the same way.
“At Fusion, we pride ourselves on being able to find the right VPN for your team, then implement it and monitor it for you, so you can concentrate on running your business.”
Jamie Watson, Managing Director, Fusion IT
Naturally, there are many ways to configure your remote access and Fusion has experience in every area.
This includes setting up site-to-site VPN’s, end user VPN’s and even Microsoft implementation of Direct Access and Always On VPN. As Sophos partners we can also implement Sophos VPN’s including two factor authentication.
Direct Access / Always On VPN in particular brings a different approach to VPNs.
Imagine if your users were using a VPN and didn’t even realise they were using one. In simple terms, Microsoft Direct Access gives you fast, seamless access to specific resources in the office from anywhere in the world, all through a standard internet connection.
