We have a supplier who is using our VPN software for toad and sql navigator programs - executing scripts over the encrypted VPN.<br />
<br />
The machine executing these scripts is not a company machine (so i do not know what is on this in terms of security.<br />
<br />
My preference for this supplier is to use these 2x tools locally on our server as who knows how secure their machine is. &nbsp;I guess the Cisco connection is secure enough...<br />
<br />
Suggestions?

Running SQL scripts (Toad / SQL navigator) over VPN

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
