VPN - Virtual Private Network (1)
The VPN market is on the verge of explosive growth. A virtual private network (VPN) broadly defined, is a temporary, secure connection over a public network, usually the Internet. Though the term is relatively new, everyone from the telcos, to operating system vendors, to firewall suppliers and router companies has rushed to offer some type of VPN capability.
A VPN gives users a secure way to access corporate network resources over the Internet or other public or private networks.
