Cloud service providers offer network infrastructure to host applications and workloads. In this shared responsibility approach to security services, it is up to the consumer to ensure secure access on top of the cloud environment. A cloud VPN solution is inevitable to access the organization’s private network through public networks securely and even share data remotely.
ACL Digital’s cloud VPN solution provides IPsec tunnel establishment, termination, and security gateway functionality deployed as a direct application on a cloud-native, a bare metal server, or as a Virtual Network Function in cloud infrastructure.
