More specifically, it allows devices on a public network to operate as if connected to a private one. For example, a mobile device on a VPN and public WiFi could connect to your enterprise\u2019s network securely; your endpoint security basically extends out through the VPN to remote devices, creating a wider net of functionality and cybersecurity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Through a virtual private network, employees can send and receive data even on shared networks with private network security; your data loss prevention works even on remote devices. Additionally, VPNs typically use encryption to prevent interception, only allowing authorized users through authentication.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>What Can This Capability Offer Your Endpoint Security?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Essentially, VPNs enable you to scale your <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/free-endpoint-protection-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">endpoint security<\/a> capabilities to encompass the cloud and remote employees. The cloud poses numerous difficulties in endpoint security, especially legacy solutions. After all, the cloud continues to accumulate more sensitive data and the normal protections of legacy solutions don\u2019t prove adequate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Especially in a cloud environment, each device forms a new mode in your digital perimeter. In fact, as you transition to the cloud, the number of endpoints connecting to your enterprise expands exponentially. In turn, each device constitutes a potential attack vector that requires a consistent layer of endpoint security.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">However, in a cloud and remote IT environment, maintaining visibility can prove a significant challenge. Using VPNs can help you protect endpoints even if your visibility does waver. Also, a VPN can help bridge any gaps between security confidence and actual security for remote employees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This becomes incredibly important when considering the growth of remote workforces and decentralized business locations and hours; remote employees can still suffer hacks and serve as gateways to hackers. With virtual private networks, you can ensure they benefit from the same level of cybersecurity as your on-premises employees. This applies even in scenarios involving public WiFi, a perennial problem for mobile devices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, different VPNs offer different levels of security and different integrations. Your use case may not resemble that of even your competitors. Factors including connecting devices, operating systems, industry, and your workforce size can all affect your use case. Instead, you need a VPN that fits your needs and can integrate with your other cybersecurity solutions. Indeed, you need to consider your identity security for proper authentication security.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>How to Learn More<\/strong> \u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Therefore, you should check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/endpoint-security\/free-endpoint-protection-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2019 Buyer\u2019s Guide for Endpoint Security<\/a>.
