Due to the increased volume of Internet related computer threats, companies are in greater need of detection tools and solutions that will help them protect against mal-ware penetration and business interruptions. As a result, many companies rely on off-the-shelf intrusion detection software solutions to protect their private networks from internet threats. According to the 2006 CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey, firewalls, anti-virus software, and anti-spyware software solutions were the most popular purchased amongst survey respondents. However, such solutions can be generic and offer features rarely used by the customer. Also, in addition to paying for rarely used features, these solutions can drive increased cost through maintenance and support needs. This is particularly true for growing companies.
As your business grows, you should consider a more robust and up-to-date solution for your VPN to help avoid potential business interruptions from malicious attacks while avoiding unnecessary increased costs.
