Securing VPN with Multi-Factor Authentication

Enterprises have long used Virtual Private Networks to promote connectivity and security.  But as the gatekeeper to internal resources, VPNs can be a target for attackers looking to gain access to sensitive data. It’s essential that organizations take steps to secure VPNs to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches.
