Using a VPN to connect to your network allows you to extend your private LAN network out to users who could be anywhere in the world. The VPN is a secure encrypted connection between a remote device and your firewall, allowing the remote user to access network resources such as shared files, printers, email etc.
Having a secure VPN gives you the opportunity to work from home with more than just email or remote desktop access. A secure VPN can give you full access to your company network just as if you were sitting in the office, with connections to all your office network facilities.
There may be some situations where local network policy restricts privacy. While there are obviously legal issues that need to be taken into account, using a VPN could be a technical means to getting around the lack of privacy.
We can help you or your company plan and roll out secure VPN’s for your remote staff, allowing secure and protected access to your network services from a range of devices and locations, allowing your staff to work when they can’t physically get access to the office.
