   Week 2 Discussion  

Virtual private networks, or VPNs, offer a secure mechanism for  accessing a network. Often they are a convenience to access an  organizations infrastructure. VPNs also need to be considered in an  organization’s business continuity plan. As an example, many  organizations had not planned for the COVID-19 pandemic. Many had to  convert their operations to a work-from-home structure, and  infrastructures may not have been set up to handle the traffic. 

Go to  to  locate and integrate at least two quality, academic resources (in  addition to your textbook) on mitigating the security risks associated  with VPNs. You may also use government websites, such as from the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Please respond to the following in a post of at least 200 words:

• Explain some of the security risks associated with VPNs.
• Describe how organizations can mitigate these risks.
• Determine the effect of penetration testing and any applicable laws on VPNs.
• Provide full citations and references, formatted according to Strayer Writing Standards.     
  • For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing  Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your  professor for any additional instructions.
