VPNs in the Age of COVID-19

Explore the impact that the COVID-19 has had on their services of the VPNs and the role that Encryption plays in keeping our work and other spaces safe online.

More and more people are relying on the Internet from remote workspaces, as COVID-19 continues to spread. In a recent ISOC blog post, we noted that “an easy way to secure your remote work space is by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to encrypt your connection to a company’s systems“. 

In this webinar, we brought together our members VPNs – Top10VPN, Surfshark and Private Internet Access – to discuss the role of VPNs during the pandemic and the challenges they have faced thus far. Moreover, we unpacked the key role that encryption plays in protecting us online, particularly during these challenging times.
