Network encryption technology that creates a secure tunnel between a user device and the corporate network — critical for remote workers accessing internal company resources from outside the office. In the B2B enterprise context, two main architectures exist: site-to-site VPN (connects two fixed networks, e.g., a branch office to HQ) and remote access VPN (per-device, for WFH/mobile employees). SSL VPN clients commonly encountered in enterprise RFPs: Cisco AnyConnect, Fortinet FortiClient, Palo Alto GlobalProtect, Pulse Secure, and OpenVPN. For corporate laptop rentals with a remote workforce, the vendor must be able to pre-install and pre-configure the VPN client to the client's infrastructure during the pre-imaging stage. Misconfigured VPN can prevent the laptop from reaching the corporate network — confirm the vendor is familiar with the client's split-tunneling policy and certificate-based authentication requirements.
