VPN
Virtual Private Network — A technology that creates an encrypted tunnel between a device and a network over the public internet, protecting data in transit and allowing remote access to internal resources as though directly connected. Corporate VPN gateways are a frequently targeted attack surface, since a single compromised credential or unpatched appliance can provide broad internal network access.
