SecureTransport and Virtual Private Networks
Overview
In general, a VPN is an adequate solution when a company needs to connect its remote offices and users, or allow a customer or partner to have access to its entire corporate network. In many cases, however, companies have discovered that a VPN does not completely satisfy their requirements for secure and reliable data transfer. More specifically, VPNs can fall short when companies need:
- To connect to third parties (customers, partners, suppliers) without giving them access to the entire corporate network
- To exchange files or EDI messages
- To enable automation or processing at client/server to send/receive data
- To enable file transfer when needed as part of a web application
- To send very large files reliably
This whitepaper provides an overview of Virtual Private Networks with a comparison of a VPN deployment and a more specialized secure file transfer solution such as Valicert SecureTransport.
