VPN

• Description

  A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses the Internet, to provide remote offices or individual users with secure access to their organization’s network.

  A lot of people use VPNs but they do not really understand how it all works. It is not good! You NEED to know it, it is your security! Do you remember NSA and all issues around it? Do you want to make sure hackers will not get access to your files? Well… it is time to learn how you can make your connection secure and reliable.

  This training is designed for beginners, however I included some more advanced labs as well. I discuss VPN protocols, encryption, hashes, certificates, remote and site to site vpns…

  Learn about the advantages of VPN:

• Improve security for data exchanges
• Improve productivity
• Functionality and resources shared from a corporate office
