Virtual Private Networks (VPN) leverage the power of the Internet to geographically expand corporate information connectivity. VPN is a cost-effective and flexible technology for increasing access to customers, site-offices, and mobile workforces. However, each access through a poorly designed VPN exposes corporate information and network resources to potential attacks from competitors and hackers.
This workshop introduces VPN concepts, business applications, and security threats and solutions. It covers both management and technical aspects of VPN. Management issues include cost-benefit trade-offs, applications suited to VPN, performance, and security policies. Technical areas include tunneling protocols, encryption methods, and public key infrastructures. The workshop also uses case studies and established VPN systems to illustrate important concepts.
This workshop is intended for IT managers, security managers and analysts, network engineers, communication engineers, and others involved in evaluation, design, and implementation of secure remote access to HQ LAN resources.
