hello,

VPN is secure by default and it uses several encryption algorithm to
satisfy the endpoint security every administrator and endusers is looking
for. As long as it is within the VPN jurisdiction (i mean the client
and server who are accessing the service) the communication cannot be
easily be compromised (it may take long to get that) because the data
are encrypted while traversing the unsecured public internet. Also consider
what types of service or protocols are you going to employ there are
like L2TP, PPTP from Microsoft, IPSec VPNs and the new one which is the
SSL VPN where its elimates hassles on part of the Security Admin (whoever
is in-charge in your organization) to configure the vpn client because
lots of internet browsers has now have their own SSL embedded in it.
The question must be like this, is the security still remains if the
message or data transmitted is still secure when it goes out of the VPN
server? Like when you transfer it to your PC or any machine that is already
out of the VPN jurisdiction. Absolutely NOT! unless you have implemented
an OpenSecurity Infrastructure (OSI) that will totally secure by encrypting
all data transmitting in (your LAN) and out (that is the use of VPN)
of your network.

Actually, I coined OSI ;-) as an implementation of distinct security
techniques and several processes particularly in protecting the inter-

network. Meaning adept in the disposal of security components such us
encryption, PKI, openPGP, software/hardware firewall, antivirus software
that will make sure it will guarantee the protection of your data wherever
it goes. ;-)

Cheers,
