ANALYTICAL REVIEW OF METHODS AND MEANS OF INFORMATION PROTECTION BASED ON VPN IN DISTRIBUTED CORPORATE NETWORKS

Abstract

The article considers current problems of ensuring information security in distributed corporate networks of enterprises, including geographically remote branches connected via VPN channels. The purpose of the study is to develop effective methods and ways to protect data in such networks. In the course of the work, an analysis of existing threats and vulnerabilities associated with the use of VPN technologies was carried out, and modern approaches to their neutralization were considered. The article proposes a set of measures to improve the level of security, including the use of cryptographic methods of data protection, the implementation of intrusion detection and prevention systems, as well as organizational measures for information security management. The results of the study can be useful for information security specialists and IT administrators involved in ensuring the protection of corporate networks.
