Networking brings convenience and efficiency to business environments; however, it introduces significant security and safety concerns at the same time.

Benefits Safer, more reliable VPN connections Faster processors today have vastly boosted the capabilities of attackers to decrypt VPN tunnels. Legacy VPN cryptographic algorithms like Message Digest 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) are no longer sufficient to guarantee secure outbound communications.
