Secure your business

For businesses that have employees working remotely a VPN service the encrypt their traffic is essential. If these users are accessing or sending sensitive or confidential information a VPN will add an extra layer of security. When your employees are out of the office, and are using public WiFI they could potentially be subjected to a packet sniffing software that can capture, decrypt and steal information. Using open & unsecured networks or even compromised data connections is a major source of information leaks in companies.

For this reason we recommend that every business uses VPN tunnelling technology whenever employees are not directly on the secure business network.

These networks, Wifi or wired are generally accessed by laptops but could also be used by your employees smart phones (iPhones, Android devices or Blackberries). If your employees use a network that is not secure or trusted then you cannot fore sure if the traffic is being monitored and analysed.
