Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Virtual private networks (VPNs) have proven to be an inexpensive solution that allows people to securely connect to their company networks via the Internet, even when they are away from their offices. VPNs use encryption protocols to ensure data remains private and secure. SSL encryption (A) can also be used to enhance security but is not as comprehensive as a VPN. Local area networks (C) refer to a network within a physical location, such as an office building or campus, and do not address the issue of connecting to a network remotely. Firewall reassignment (D) and reengineered applets (E) are not established technologies for solving this issue.
