Tunneling Protocols and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)

• The Internet is generally not a secure medium for transmitting sensitive data. To facilitate secure communications, VPNs create private, encrypted tunnels over the Internet.
• How VPNs Work: A VPN establishes a secure connection by encapsulating the data within a tunneling protocol, encrypting it for confidentiality during transit.
• Benefits: This method allows remote users to securely access corporate networks, protecting data from eavesdropping and unauthorized access.
