Benefits of VPN Include

Cost Savings - By leveraging third party networks, with VPN, organizations no longer have to use expensive leased or frame relay lines and are able to connect remote users to their corporate networks via a local Internet service provider (ISP) instead of via expensive 800-number or long distance calls to resource-consuming modem banks.

Security - VPNs provide the highest level of security using advanced encryption and authentication protocols that protect data from unauthorized access.

Scalability - VPNs allow corporations to utilize remote access infrastructure within ISPs. Therefore, corporations are able to add a virtually unlimited amount of capacity without adding significant infrastructure.

Compatibility with Broadband Technology - VPNs allow mobile workers, telecommuters and day extenders to take advantage of high-speed, broadband connectivity, such as DSL and Cable, when gaining access to their corporate networks, providing workers significant flexibility and efficiency.
