As we approach the flexible work month of August, it is important to know how to safeguard your remote working environment.
What is a VPN?
A VPN is a service that creates a secure, encrypted connection over a less secure network, such as the public internet. It works by routing your device's internet connection through your chosen VPN's private server rather than your internet service provider (ISP). This process masks your IP address and use advanced encryption protocols to ensure that the data transmitted between your device and the corporate network is secure. This prevents unauthorised access to sensitive company data.
How Does a VPN Work?
When you connect to a VPN, it creates a VPN tunnel, a virtual point-to-point connection between your device and the VPN server. This tunnel 192encrypts all data that passes through it, ensuring that your information remains private and secure, even when using public networks.
