The technology used to provide secure remote access to a company's network is typically known as a Virtual Private Network (VPN). VPNs create a secure tunnel for data transmission over the internet, encrypting the connection and ensuring privacy while accessing the network. They enable employees to connect to corporate resources safely from remote locations, protecting sensitive information from potential cyber threats. Other secure access methods may include Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or IPsec protocols, which also focus on maintaining data integrity and confidentiality.
