VPN for remote maintenance - What do I need the VPN for?
15. January 2024 – Know-How

How are remote maintenance and VPN connected?
Remote maintenance refers to remote access to IT systems for maintenance and repair purposes. The advantage of this is that the person accessing the system does not have to be directly on site, but can access the system from virtually anywhere. In the event of system malfunctions or problems, for example, the system can be accessed quickly without anyone having to travel to the site. To eliminate the security risk of an open company network or open access, a so-called virtual private network, or in short VPN, should be used for this purpose.
What is a VPN?
A VPN establishes a secure connection between the accessing device and the target network. This can be thought of as a closed tunnel that leads directly from the accessing device to the target network, which has no other access points. This virtual private network is therefore a self-contained communication network. This means that the local company network can be accessed with the appropriate software and all the necessary security-relevant data as if it had direct physical access.
Security through an encrypted connection
A remote maintenance solution only becomes secure with a VPN that establishes an encrypted connection. Setting up, providing, maintaining and servicing such a network is relatively expensive, especially if a high availability rate is required. Constant testing and closing of security gaps is essential. In order to keep the effort for secure access via VPN as low as possible, it is advisable to use professional solutions from specialized providers. These providers then take care of the security and availability of the VPN.
