he successful operation of a VPN depends not only on its hardware and software components and overall configuration but also on a number of best practices. Each VPN connection extends your network to a location that is out of your control, and each such connection can open up your network to intrusions, viruses, or other problems.

In a company or corporate setting, the VPN is likely to be used by many different workers in many different locations. A VPN policy is essential for identifying who can use the VPN and for ensuring that all users know what constitutes proper use of the VPN.

Mr. Deese, CEO of Nitro Hardware Company, requests that you research implementing a Virtual Private Network so employees can access their files outside of work. Compose a 2-3 page report to CEO Deese that describes how a VPN can be implemented and what security protocols are needed to protect the Nitro Hardware Company’s digital information.

Please compose your report in APA style citing a minimum of 2 sources of information.
