Remote access to a corporate network poses a security threat that can be met with many solutions. From a combination of user IDs and passwords to dedicated leased lines or Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), security for a network extended beyond the walls of headquarters can represent a wide range of costs and varying degrees of effectiveness. With a VPN, Internet security becomes truly "distance independent," as well as cost-effective and reliable. A company can protect its intellectual property while allowing users outside its main office to access and transmit confidential information over the Internet. At the same time,use of the VPN does not restrict communication over the public, or untrusted, network. WatchGuard Technologies extends the protection of its WatchGuard security system with VPNs for mobile remote users and outside offices.
