Abstract

Nowadays enterprises rely heavily on computer systems for storing and processing vital information, IT plays a major role in their businesses therefore all these systems must be safe and reliable. Computer networks are a major part of all these technologies; they provide the essential link between them, connecting them into one unified information network. However, the main requirement in all this is to implement a proper security system that will keep all these information secure and protect the privacy. Small or medium-sized enterprises need to have their branches interconnected with a rapid, reliable, cost-effective access to their resources. The ability to reach important company resources enables the employees to be more flexible and productive, especially when they have the flexibility to access those resources from remote offices, home, or when traveling. This level of connectivity is a core component of IT strategy in today’s business world and is critical for staying ahead of the competition. Virtual Private Networks (VPN), present businesses a solution to this need. A VPN allows an enterprise to build a secure communication network by leveraging the public Internet as a low-cost transportation mechanism. This increasing use of VPN is one of the key growth drivers for the increased deployment of firewalls.
