asked on 

VPN inactivity time out reasoning

What is the reason for having a time limit set for inactivity set on a VPN connection?

I'm putting together a strategic plan for our department and this is one of the issues that came up and I'm attempting to put together the reasons as to why this is done, but would like other's insight.

Thank you
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.
