One of the easiest ways for professionals to protect their internet traffic is by using a virtual private network, or VPN. VPNs are used to create secure, remote connections to other networks or geographic locations; a computer connected to a VPN can appear to be inside of a business network or in a different part of the world.
There are a lot of factors that go into choosing a good VPN service, and you can read up on choices and VPN policy at TechRepublic and our sister site ZDNet.
Aside from choosing the right service, you also need to be sure a VPN is right for you, as in the case of these five VPN uses for professionals.
If your reason for using a VPN for work is to protect the traffic you're transmitting, a VPN will work great.
If your business is located in a high-income country and you need to travel, you may be paying a premium that your business can't afford, and using a VPN to change your geographic location can save you quite a bit of money.
