User complaints about slow VPN access have been with us forever. Mobile users struggle to gain global access to business applications using legacy mobile VPN clients. They rely on the slow public internet, with its convoluted global routing and high packet loss. To learn more and register for the webinar sign up here.

As a result, many companies attempted to meet the needs of their remote workforce via remote access VPNs with varying levels of success. What is a Remote Access VPN and How Does it Work? A remote access virtual private network (VPN) is a solution designed to securely connect a remote user to the enterprise network.
