A network connection point which hosts your team and resources. It is secure, requiring 2-factor-authentication (2FA) or multi-factor-authentication (MFA) and data encryption so only those with lawful access can see the content.

What should a good VPN provide?

• A secure connection
• Servers in different countries
• Concealed internet activity and history
• Capacity for the expected network traffic
• A "kill switch" in case things go wrong

Common VPN types:

• Intranet and remote access - allow remote employees access to the secure network from afar
• Extranet and site-to-site access - these options would connect remote offices, branches, or even external stakeholders or partners to your secure network

VPN protocols:

• No matter the protocol type used, the goal is to keep the connection secure and encrypted. Every organization has unique needs that may make a specific protocol type more practical than another.

With secure, encrypted VPN access, you're in a virtual loop that walls off prying eyes from seeing what you're doing on your company's network even when working from afar.
