Today’s workforce is increasingly
mobile. Telecommuting is on the rise, as is the number
of people who work on the road or in locations other
than corporate headquarters. Unfortunately, with the
rising number of mobile employees and other remote users
requiring access to corporate networks, organisations
are facing serious new costs and information security
challenges. Since the Internet is generally accessible
with a local phone call from nearly anywhere in the
world, the remote user can establish a remote access
connection to corporate network resources through the
Internet, dramatically reducing remote access costs.
Early indications show that an average of
£1,000 in
savings per user/per year can be realized through deploying
a Virtual Private Network (VPN), due to the reduced
hardware and support requirements needed.
