My company are concerned about VPN security
My company are concerned about VPN security
(OP)
As an IT department, we'd like to sell the move over to a VPN to the board of directors, we are quite a small company with 2 main sites and 4 remote depots. At present, we have fixed lease lines between all remote depots and the main site.
The main concern of the board is the issue of security, when using the internet for our Remote connections.
We are intending to use PSINet and an Extended Systems VPN Server.
Has anyone had to cover the security issue regarding a VPN in laymen terms, I'm having a little trouble knocking out the technical detail.
A link to a good site on the subject would also be a huge help.
Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to respond

If you don't have one already, you will definetely need a firewall, or some sort of sophisticated routing device that can screen IP packets as they hit your company's network. One good one is from Cyberguard in Ft Lauderdale, FL.
Hope this helps

I'll definitely take a look at the Dynamic passcode option...sounds good.
