Protect your network against unwanted eyes
One of the biggest advantages of using a VPN on your organization’s network is that it reduces the chance that a cyberattacker gains access to your network. VPNs encrypt your data from end-to-end while it propagates through the internet. As a result, this minimizes the chance that your data is intercepted and stolen by malicious actors. In addition, any VoIP services such as VoIP calls are also protected.

Managing IT infrastructure when the size of your team will always be a challenge – changes to the size of your company can result in infrastructure being left underused, or requiring replacements and expensive expansions. With the increase of cloud computing, this issue has been reduced due to the flexible scalability of these new platforms. In a similar fashion, VPN plans are scalable, meaning that you can easily change the size of your offering to match your organization’s specific needs at any one time. This makes it easy to evolve your IT infrastructure with respect to your organization, reducing wasted costs in the long run.

Increase Security Management Protocols
Access controls are an effective method of protecting sensitive files on your network. By limiting the access that employees have to certain files on a need-to-use basis, you reduce the change of cybercriminals gaining access to these same files in the event that they compromise one of of these computers.
