Seminar on Information Security - VPN

by Mr Khalid from Cyber Security Malaysia.

In this seminar, Mr Khalid first talked about hacking. What is hacking? Hacking means a person who is unauthorized by entering the system using back doors either he/she hacks for positive or negative things. After that, Mr Khalid said about protection. What we must do before install any unlicensed software is we need to read the license agreement (LA) before clicking the NEXT button. Then, he proceed to the VPN. 

What is VPN? VPN stands for Virtual Private Network is a computer network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure such as the Internet to provide remote offices or individual users to secure access to their organization's network. It aims to avoid an expensive system of owned or leased lines that can be used by only one organization. It encapsulates data transfers using a secure cryptographic method between two or more networked devices which are not on the same private network so as to keep the transferred data private from other devices on one or more intervening local or wide area networks. There are many different classifications, implementations, and uses for VPNs


The most common examples using VPN is when you are about to download any jurnal using IEEE, Scopus or ScienceDirect.... you need to register to that site before allowed to download the articles.... but... if you are using VPN.... you can just download it without any payment.... just using your UTM ACID...

User-created remote access VPNs may use passwords, biometrics, other cryptographic methods.
