New DelhiVirtual Private Network Services - Technology that enabled the government to work-from-home

A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across a public network and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network. Applications running across a VPN may therefore benefit from the functionality, security, and management of the private network. In other words, it allows users to work from home like they were in office. The new WebVPN offering is easy to use even for non-tech savvy users and augments the security of the system by means of two factors of authentication.
