1. Cost Savings - By leveraging third party networks, with VPN, organizations no longer
have to use expensive leased or frame relay lines and are able to connect remote users to
their corporate networks via a local Internet service provider (ISP) instead of via
expensive 800- number or long distance calls to resource-consuming modem banks.
2. Security - VPNs provide the highest level of security using advanced encryption and
authentication protocols that protect data from unauthorized access.
3. Scalability - VPNs allow corporations to utilize remote access infrastructure within ISPs.
Therefore, corporations are able to add a virtually unlimited amount of capacity without
adding significant infrastructure.
4. Compatibility with Broadband Technology - VPNs allowmobile workers, telecommuters
and day extenders to take advantage of high-speed, broadband connectivity, such as DSL
and Cable, when gaining access to their corporate networks, providing workers
significant flexibility and efficiency.
5. VPNs enable you to create secure, business-critical communication links over the
Internet.
6. Give telecommuters and mobile workers secure access to your LAN
