When it comes down to setting up a virtual private network, you may want to consult with our team at Synivate. There are two different choices when dealing with VPNs, including hardware-based platforms, such as Cisco, SonicWall,a and Fortinet, and software-only platforms. Depending on the type of business that you operate, your budget, and any data safety regulations imposed by the government, you may be required to use the hardware-based virtual private network. If there are no concerns in these areas, you might be able to use software-based programs, which can be easy to setup and less costly.
Our team of highly trained and experienced technicians can help you to determine your needs for a VPN or any other type of network security services. We create a custom approach for each client based on their unique requirements and any relevant industry regulations that they must meet. Our many years of working with small to medium sized businesses, as well as larger corporations, can work to your advantage as we create a cybersecurity portfolio that will help you to protect your essential data and your business.
If your are not familiar with the VPN, don’t worry – we’ll explain. In the most simplest of terms, a virtual private network is a technology service that is frequently sold as a subscription. These solutions feature two distinct components, including a software-based app and a server encryption functionality, which works to create a more secure network within your organization. A VPN creates an encrypted funnel, which is used to pass communications back and forth from desktop or mobile computer devices to another device on the other end. While this is a very simplistic representation of what you can expect, as a user, you won’t need to know much more.
The basic strategy for a VPN as part of your company’s approach to network security services involves the confirmation of your identity by the virtual private network and then an encryption of traffic on the server. The data will be decrypted and sent to another confirmed and approved user on their device. There are many benefits associated with using a VPN, primarily making network communications more secure. The information contained within communications that are passed through a VPN are encrypted to such a degree that they would be unusable to anyone who might try to gain access to the data. This can include usernames, passwords, financial data, and other types of sensitive information.
