Unit 8 Assignment 1
Remote access can be made available to senior management and executives to help them access their work when not in the office. This can be done via VPN. VPNs can allow users needing remote access to securely access IT resources without being physically connected to the network. It is secured with encryption by tunneling through an internet connection. All that is needed is VPN software, appropriate protocols (i.e. IPSec), and encryption.
Deploying Internet Protocol Security, or IPSec, with allow the VPN to establish a secure connection. It is regularly used in VPN configurations because it is flexible and can be modified to fit the company’s specific security needs.
As with a regular network, the VPN should be held to the same security standards. Password policies, data classification policies, and other security standards should still be enforced. Remote users should also be provided extra training to understand the risks of using remote access so they can safeguard their personal systems while using a VPN connection.
