VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK – WHAT IS IT ?
A Virtual Private Network or VPN is a service that is used to provide enhanced security
and identity protection to public and private networks, such as the Internet or Wi-Fi hotspots.
The user’s privacy is protected by a fake IP address that masks the original IP address and its
location. This will show the user location to any other gateway city rather than show the
original location. The incoming and outgoing data in a VPN network is protected with high
quality encryption. The service of VPN is very cost friendly and hence is availed by most

It is very risky for the employees of JKS Accountants to access and transfer confidential
organisational or client data remotely without implementing VPN. Cyber criminals are
applying innovative and easy methods to hack the network and intercept sensitive data during
the time of transfer from the source to the destination and retrieve the same. Wi-Fi Spoofing
and Firesheep are some of the tools that help the hackers to easily achieve their objective.
