Course Name:   VPN Training: Virtual Private Networks (VPN) Training
     
Deployment Options:   Onsite - Instructor-Led Training
     
Course Duration:   2-3 days depending on audience background and options
 

Introduction:
 
A VPN is a communications environment in which access is controlled to permit peer connections only within a defined community of interest, and is constructed though some form of partitioning of a common underlying communications medium, where this underlying communications medium provides services to the network on a non-exclusive basis.

Virtual private networks have become an essential part of today's business networks, as they provide a cost-effective means of assuring private internal and external communications over the shared Internet infrastructure. Virtual Private Networks: Technologies and Solutions is a comprehensive, practical guide to VPNs.

VPN Fundamentals includes VPN concepts and architectures,an in-depth examination of advanced features and functions such as tunneling, authentication, access control, VPN gateways, VPN clients, and VPN network and service management. This course presents the various technology components, concrete solutions, and best practices you need to deploy and manage a highly successful VPN.
 
Audience:
 
IT Managers, Security Officers, Network Engineers, Tech Support and anyone who is interested in VPN.
 
Prerequisites:
 
Basic Knowledge of TCP/IP and Networking
 
Customize it:
 
This 2-3-day VPN course will be customized to your needs and specifications. Eno.com will assist you in identifying those needs and specifications. A word to the wise, there are many vendors of wireless training. They will typically have a broad and general course, one size fits all, already developed and just put your organization’s name on the title slide. This minimizes their effort and time investment. At Eno.com, every course is made to your exact and exacting specifications. We help you ensure what you are getting is what you really need even if at the beginning you weren’t too sure of what that was. We fit the class to your needs. We never fit you into our “standard”, one size fits all, class.
