It is easy to be lulled into a false sense of security once your VPN is in place, but it is generally accepted that in order to be truly effective, a VPN must be combined with strong authentication.
A VPN can be thought of as a glass tunnel traversing the Internet spanning two points. Although the traffic travelling through this private tunnel is encrypted, the walls are transparent. |
Ensuring the confidentiality of the data en-route is not enough. It is also essential that the identity of the conversation partner is known, and this is only possible with strong authentication. The use of Defender in this situation ensures that the identity of both parties can be trusted, on the basis of something you know added to something you own.
