Virtual Private Networks (VPN)

A virtual private network (VPN) is a secure and private network connection that allows users to access resources and services over the internet.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a secure and encrypted connection between two or more devices or networks, allowing users to securely access resources and services over the internet. VPNs are an essential aspect of cybersecurity, especially in the IoT industry, where the number of connected devices is rapidly increasing. With VPNs, IoT devices can securely communicate with each other and with other networks, preventing unauthorized access and data breaches. VPNs require specialized security controls and technologies to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. VPNs can be used for various IoT applications, such as remote monitoring and control of devices, data collection and analysis, and secure communication between devices and systems. Implementing VPNs can improve the security posture of IoT systems and protect against cyber attacks and data breaches.
