Network security is a primary concern for many enterprise organizations. Most of these organizations want to implement security throughout their corporate network but do not know how or where to begin. Additionally, these businesses might not have the resources to invest in security equipment, maintenance services, and training to build their own in-house expertise.

Managed VPN Services
A4 Networks VPNs offer secure connectivity between multiple business locations, as well as between remote users and business locations. IPSec is the industry standard used by A4 Networks to efficiently provide data authentication and privacy within these VPN communications. This is particularly important when telecommunications traverse an IP backbone within the public Internet. Customers who want secure end-to-end connectivity require the secure connections to be terminated at the customer premises. CPE-based VPNs ensure secure intranet, extranet, and remote access, end-to-end connectivity.
