VPN Accounts & Servers - Why Your Business Needs Them
Many of our customers have asked us how VPN (Virtual Private Network) can help them and their staff. Some companies already have corporate VPNs but they are not secure and are vulnerable to hacking because they run on vulnerable OS’s and use old protocols. For many it is not practical and takes a lot of manpower to maintain a full corporate VPN so many outsource to trusted companies like us at compevo who put customer data and security as the top priority.
Why VPN Accounts
VPN Accounts are still vital to have from third parties even if your company already has them, especially to escape the footprint that attackers may already know when your employees travel or are abroad. This even applies to visiting the coffee shop or airport and using the “Free WiFI”, you never know who is running it for sure and other users can always intercept your passwords and sensitive data.
We see news reports like this all the time: http://www.news1130.com/2015/03/20/criminals-are-starting-to-set-up-fake-wifi-hot-spots-security-experts/
By using a VPN in the situation above, the criminals won’t be able to compromise your details.
There is another element though that your device or computer must be secure and not hackable over the network (companies serious about security use OpenSource Linux in these situations especially).
Which providers do you recommend?
We recommend established and long-standing providers and even furthermore, the most ideal and cost effective thing is to have your own private VPN servers. Some larger or more capable providers can do this for a negotiated fee.
One company which mentions this is Pro VPN Accounts. (known not to disclose customer information or data according to their policy). In addition the most accepted and secure protocol is OpenVPN and is what we recommend for maximum speed and security (we do not recommend PPTP or L2TP technologies).
There are other providers that have been around for a long time as well including:
Astrill
StrongVPN
VyprVPN
The Ideal Solution
compevo communications can provide you a fully dedicated server, customized for you to run your private and secure VPN platform. We can set you up so that the VPN both encrypts and protects your employees while outside of the office and also for it to help store and access your data securely. Other services are on shared, servers, shared IP and shared bandwidth so it is not advantageous for a business to rely on it. The issue with security is also the fact you are sharing with so many people, many services make you vulnerable simply by connecting to their VPN may allow their other customers to scan or attack you. This is not the case with a dedicated and private VPN server like our solution.
We can either just provide the server or full-service consulting and management of your VPN server which includes user management and provisioning.
