Step 3: Each group will design a four-slide presentation (one slide per topic) to deliver to the

class for discussion.

Instructor – Example Activity Solution (all group presentations will vary)

Topic 1 - VPN Definition - How VPNs Work

A VPN is a private network that uses a public network (usually the Internet) to connect remote sites or users

together. The VPN uses "virtual" connections routed through the Internet from the business's private network

to the remote site or employee. By using a VPN, businesses ensure security -- anyone intercepting the

encrypted data can't read it.

Topic 2 - Five general facts about VPNs - VPN - Virtual Private Network

 A VPN uses public networks to send and receive private network data using special protocols.

 VPNs utilize a client and server approach.

 VPN clients authenticate users.

 Data is encrypted over most VPN systems.

 VPNs use servers to configure tunneling on the network.

Topic 3 - IPsec as a security option - Encryption and Security Protocols in a VPN

IPsec is a widely used protocol for securing traffic on IP networks, including the Internet. IPsec can encrypt

data between various devices, including router to router, firewall to router, desktop to router, and desktop to

server.
