Pen testing your VPN

A short introduction to penetration testing your VPN. From Search Security: Pen testing your VPN.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is like a large sign, saying "Sensitive Data Here." Hackers know that when they've found a VPN, they've hit the jackpot, because it means somebody is trying to secure something confidential. Therefore, like any other gateway, your VPN needs to go through a thorough penetration test to check for vulnerabilities. It's easy to overlook VPNs when pen testing your network, as it's often assumed that they're the most secure part of it. But, they're not and they're a magnet for hackers.
