Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) use the Internet to carry data between distant locations and an organization’s main network. The data moving over the VPN connection is secure because it is encrypted in transit. DIS offers both User VPN Services and Office VPN Services.

User VPN Services

VPNs can provide mobile workers access to your network from any location via the Internet.

• Client IPSec VPNs provide remote access to your network for remote staff through their laptops or PCs. VPN client software is loaded onto agency computers to provide secure, encrypted tunnels through the Internet.
  
  
• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPNs allow your staff to securely connect to your agency, or state resources, from any computer using only the Internet browser. There is no need to install special software. The SSL-VPN service is customized to meet your agency’s needs. SecurID® tokens are used for user identification.

Office VPN Services

VPNs provide a secure, cost-effective way to connect small or branch offices to your agency’s main network using a locally provided Internet connection. Your agency’s primary network location must be on the State Government Network (SGN) or the Intergovernmental Network (IGN).

• Small Branch Office VPN Service supports a small, remote office of 2-10 employees. This allows up to 13 network devices (such as PCs, servers or printers) to connect.
  
  
• Large Branch Office VPN Service supports 10-250 employees. It is recommended to have a design review meeting with DIS to plan the best solution for your needs for Large Branch Office VPN Service.
  
  
• Device-to-Device (site-to -site) VPN Service allows a server, host, or device to communicate with another server, host, or device over a secured VPN channel. This service is designed to support the automated, system, or batch transfer of data between two devices. (For example: an agency might collect data electronically in the field and transmit it back to a data center for compilation.)

Office VPN Service customers must have a connection to the State Government Network (SGN) or the Intergovernmental Network (IGN).

To obtain services from DIS, eligible organizations must enter into a Customer Service Agreement (CSA).

Virtual Private Network (VPN) Service is billed monthly as a rated subscription service. Billing occurs only in the months when services are provided.
