By the beginning of summer, Chelyabinsk and Sverdlovsk companies, as well as government agencies, had increased information security. It is in these regions that the telecoms recorded a two-fold increase in requests for the organization of virtual private networks (VPN) in comparison with last year. Every second connection to private data transmission, telecom engineers conducted for the companies of the Sverdlovsk region.

According to researchers ROMIR, on a national scale, every third company has set up a secure corporate data network - VPN. In the Urals, according to MegaFon analysts, state agencies, banks, telecom companies, utilities and energy companies invest the greatest amount of investment in creating a secure network for transferring sensitive data between company divisions.

About 70% of the clients of the Ural corporate market and state department connect the MegaFon VPN service in order to unite the company's regional offices in a single protected corporate network that are territorially remote from each other.

"The protection of information resources is a matter of paramount importance in the sphere of public administration and among business participants. To do this, access to confidential information about clients or commercial secrets of the organization is reliably protected. All data transmitted over VPN channels is encrypted.

Our customers also actively use a private secure network as an additional protection against hacker attacks and industrial espionage, "- said the director for the development of corporate business" MegaFon "in the Urals Inna Smirnova.

VPN works "on top" of public connections, hiding the contents of the information sent. Thanks to this connection, employees get secure access to resources, electronic databases, without fear of information leakage.
