A VPN is an easy, accessible solution for your employees to gain secure access to company applications and files. A VPN uses an individual’s home internet connection but routes the connection through a private server in your company to have data come from your organization rather than your employee’s personal ISP. VPNs will often use a token to authorize the user, ensuring secure access for your user and keeping intruders out. VPN software must be installed on each device, and every device that accesses the VPN will consume bandwidth.
