Cisco's on-premises solutions, including their integrated services routers and security appliances, support the implementation of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), which are crucial for creating a secure and encrypted connection over a less secure network, such as the internet. This becomes especially important for businesses adopting hybrid work models, where employees split their time between working on-site and remotely. The VPN solution allows remote workers to safely access the company's internal network, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected, even when accessed from outside the office. This hybrid experience is enabled by on-premises VPN solutions, as they provide the necessary infrastructure to support secure remote access.
