VPN : Virtual Private Networks

Commonly referred to as VPN, this security option is useful for employees that need access to their own desktops or a central network from a remote location. VPN is particularly useful for people who must travel frequently for work, or regular tele-workers. It uses the Internet to carry the traffic between the user’s location and the central network. The data moving over the VPN connection is secure because it is encrypted in transit. The speed of data exchange depends on the Internet connection speed available at the user’s location.

Benefits of VPN

• Security:

  Using the Internet without encryption makes the data vulnerable to public observation, tampering, or capturing. The DIS VPN Service is safe and reliable because it uses encryption to securely send transmissions. A "tunnel" is configured between the client workstation and the DIS VPN Service gateway so the data is kept private as it travels over the Internet. Additionally, the DIS VPN Service utilizes a secondary authentication method, such as secure token cards or key fobs, to ensure the that the data is transmitted intact and that the person transmitting the data is who he or she claims to be.

• Affordability:

  Customer agencies can recognize major cost savings by using the public Internet to transmit their agency data. The DIS VPN Service is one of the most affordable, safest, and easiest ways to conduct this business securely. Agencies pay only for their connection to the Internet, their local Internet Service Provider (ISP), and the DIS VPN Service monthly fee.

• Connectivity:

  Customer agencies are beginning to open up their networks to remote employees, branch offices, business partners and customers by utilizing the DIS VPN Service, a transparent, secure, and private connection across the Internet. The DIS VPN Service uses the speed and pervasiveness of the Internet to connect your agency to business partners, clients and suppliers—whether they are across the street or on the other side of the globe
  
  
  

• Reliability:

  Current private data networks may not be able to handle cable modem, digital subscriber line (DSL) or other extensive broadband traffic. High-speed access is vital to your telecommuters who use shared network media such as cable or DSL, and especially critical for those with wireless connections. Today, with extensive redundancy, carrier-compliance, and high-speed switch routers, the DIS VPN Service provides the high reliability and availability to meet users’ requirements for speed.

• Productivity:

  The DIS VPN Service improves employee productivity and work flexibility while reducing access costs. The DIS VPN Service is becoming very popular and many agencies are already enjoying the benefits of lower costs and convenience. Expected benefits include decreased IT costs, streamlined business processes, increased employee communication, and improved customer satisfaction.
