What is a VPN Configuration Assessment & Why do I Need One?
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are the modern way to allow remote employees to access resources on the corporate network. These VPN systems have replaced traditional dial-in and other types of remote access. There are many types of VPNs using differing technologies offered by a lot of technology vendors.
The configuration of these VPNs can be quite troublesome with a lot of companies relying on both site-to-site VPNs for third party access as well as Remote Access VPNs for remote workers who need access to corporate resources when on the road or working from home. By letting our experts assess your VPN set-up we can make sure you eliminate any vulnerabilities or misconfigurations that could leave you open to attack.

Key Benefits of Testing Your VPNs

Compliance with regulations: Many industries have regulations related to data privacy and security, which could include regulations related to VPNs. VPN testing can help organisations ensure compliance with these regulations and prevent costly fines or penalties if found in violation
Identifying configuration issues: VPN testing can verify the configuration of VPN clients and servers to detect configuration issues that may cause connectivity issues or slow network speed. By identifying these issues, organisations can improve the reliability of VPN connections and provide users with better performance
Ensuring proper security policies: VPNs function as the first line of defence for sensitive data when connecting remote users to corporate resources. VPN testing can verify security policies of encryption algorithms, authentication methods, and protocols to ensure proper security policies and to reduce the vulnerabilities of the VPN
