Helps Secure the Network EnvironmentA VPN is a private network that uses a public network (usually the Internet) toconnect remote sites or users together. Instead of using a dedicated, real-worldconnection such as leased line, a VPN uses “virtual” connections routed throughthe Internet from the company's private network to the remote site or employee.
