OVERVIEW
What is Cloud VPN?
A cloud virtual private network (cloud VPN) is a solution that creates encrypted tunnels between remote users and corporate networks by leveraging data center infrastructure. The solution works through VPN gateways, safeguarding online network channels used to exchange data and assets. This ensures that your business applications, data, and files remain protected and accessible, whether they're cloud-based or hosted on-premises.
USE-CASES
Cloud VPN in action: real-world applications for secure connectivity
Cloud-based VPN helps businesses from all over the world stay safe and connected. Whether it's enabling employees to access work files from any location, testing products internationally, or keeping online actions confidential, enterprise cloud VPN offers practical solutions to changing the way your organization connects and protects its information.
Secure remote access to your company resources
Cloud VPN offers a secure connection that allows your team to safely access the tools and files they need, regardless of location. It's like having a secure bridge to your business data, ensuring peace of mind and flexibility in today's fast-paced work environment.
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) access & security
Let your employees securely access company resources from their personal devices, no matter where they are. Cloud VPN encrypts online traffic, so private and sensitive data stays that way, supporting the best practices of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies.
International testing & quality assurance
Test your products in different international markets without leaving your desk. Cloud VPN services allows your Quality Assurance (QA) team to simulate different global locations, ensuring that your services meet international standards and provide a seamless experience to customers worldwide.
Enhanced security & anonymity to reduce cyber risks
VPN masks your IP address and encrypts the internet traffic, making it hard for anyone to track or monitor your identity and activity online. This reduces the risk of data breaches, ransomware attacks, and other online threats that could disrupt your business or even harm your reputation.
