Double Extortion: Double extortion ransomware both steals and encrypts sensitive and valuable data on an infected system. Lateral Movement: Ransomware rarely immediately lands on a device containing the high-value data that it plans to encrypt. This model increased the number of companies infected with high-quality ransomware.

VPNs encapsulate data and encrypt the data using an algorithm contained within the transmission protocol. VPN traffic is encrypted and decrypted at the transmission and receiving ends of the connection. VPNs can also be set up using L2TP/IPsec protocols, which proves to have much stronger encryption than PPTP.
