Securing VPN services
Each cloud provider has its own implementation of a VPN service. VPNs allow network-based access to private resources over untrusted networks.
Combined with a firewall, a VPN allows organizations to access and manage their internal resources (both sides of the VPN tunnel) in a secure manner.
A VPN allows corporate users to connect to their organization’s cloud environment from either the corporate network or from home.
The connection between the VPN and the cloud environment is encrypted.
The connection to the cloud environment is transparent (that is, the same as working locally from the corporate network).
The VPN can enforce the use of multifactor authentication (MFA) for end users connecting using a client VPN.
