Virtual private networks (VPNs) have proven to be an inexpensive solution for remote workers to access company networks via the Internet securely. By creating a secure encrypted connection between the remote device and the corporate network, VPNs can protect sensitive data from potential threats on public networks. SSL encryption is also a secure technology, but it is often used in conjunction with VPNs rather than as a standalone solution. Local area networks (LANs) and firewall reassignments are not relevant solutions to the problem of remote worker security.
