What is a Virtual Private Network (VPN)?

    Why a VPN?

    At a time when data protection and cyber security are becoming increasingly important, comprehensive solutions for the protection of digital data are indispensable - especially in companies and educational institutions. Relution supports you with a powerful mobile device management (MDM) solution that enables centralized management and protection of your devices.

    In addition, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) plays a crucial role in protecting sensitive information and establishing a secure connection for your devices.

    How does a VPN work?

    A Virtual Private Network (VPN) ensures that your data is transmitted safely and securely - regardless of whether you are in an office, a school or a public WLAN network.It offers three essential security functions:

    Verschlüsselung Ihrer Daten

    Ein VPN verschlüsselt alle Daten, die zwischen Ihrem Gerät und dem Internet übertragen werden. Das bedeutet, dass weder Hacker noch unbefugte Dritte diese Informationen einsehen können. Insbesondere bei der Nutzung eines MDM-Systems wie Relution ist dies entscheidend, um Konfigurationsdaten, Richtlinien oder App-Installationen vor Missbrauch zu schützen.

    Encryption of your data

    A VPN encrypts all data transmitted between your device and the internet. This means that neither hackers nor unauthorized third parties can view this information. This is particularly important when using an MDM system such as Relution to protect configuration data, policies or app installations from misuse.

    Hiding your IP address

    When you use a VPN, your actual IP address is replaced by that of the VPN server. This keeps you anonymous and better protects your devices from targeted attacks. This additional layer of security ensures that mobile devices managed via Relution can also work securely outside the company or school networks.

    Secure access to internal resources

    A VPN enables secure access to protected internal systems, such as company networks or school servers. In combination with Relution, you can ensure that only authorized devices access these resources via a VPN, while at the same time all access can be monitored and managed centrally.

    Why are VPN and MDM an ideal combination?

    Relution's MDM offers you a comprehensive solution for the centralized management of your devices. If you combine this with a VPN, you create a holistic security strategy.While Relution's MDM ensures that your devices are optimally configured and managed, the VPN protects data transmission and ensures encrypted connections. This combination is unbeatable, especially in hybrid working and learning environments:

    • Employees can work securely from home without putting sensitive company data at risk.
    • Students and teachers have secure access to digital learning content, even outside the school network.

    With Relution Shield, the security strategy becomes even more effective as it combines MDM and VPN into one powerful unit.Invest in the combination of MDM and Relution Shield, the VPN from Relution, to future-proof your environment and arm yourself against the growing threats of the digital world - for a high level of cyber security.
