No probs. Thanks for the points. I would suggest you read up on those other terms to avoid yourself becoming red faced in case someone else in the room 'knows a little'. For an overview of VPN technology have a look at <a href="http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=25470&rl=1" rel="ugc">http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=25470&rl=1</a>

I have to write a proposal for setting up a 24x7 Cisco-to-Cisco tunnel with a client. What is the official term for that kind tunnel, so I can at least sound like I know what I'm talking about? Thanks.<br />

Tunnel Terminology

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
