What is a VPN?
A Virtual Private Network, or VPN, makes working remotely secure and smooth. A VPN allows remote workers to access their company’s protected local area network from their home office as well (e.g. intranet and company files). This means they can work from home just as they would at the office.
Why is a VPN an important part of data security?
A VPN service provides a secure and encrypted connection within an open internet environment. A VPN service establishes a secure and encrypted connection between the user’s device to their company’s services. This enables strong identification and users can be provided identical access to the company’s services as they have when they are connected to the company’s network at the office. Most advanced VPN services enable directing part of the traffic directly to the services via an internet connection without having to route the traffic via the tunnelled VPN connection and thus increasing the load of the network, for example, due to the use of broadcasting services.
How do I get a VPN?
If your company does not yet have a VPN service in use, we are happy to provide one for you. Just give us your contact details and one of our sales representatives will contact you.
We have developed our services during the pandemic and are now able to provide VPN connections faster than ever.
I already have an Elisa VPN. How can I make sure all my employees have it too?
Example: If your company has subscribed to the VPN service for 10 users, this means that only 10 employees are able to access the company’s LAN at the same time. If your company has more remote workers than usual due to the coronavirus, please ensure your subscription covers all your employees.
Increasing VPN capacity:
If you need more capacity to your existing Elisa VPN service, please contact our sales team.
Adding users to an existing VPN service:
If your company uses the Elisa VPN user management tool, you can add more users to your VPN in the Corporate OmaElisa. Log in to OmaElisa.
