Complete Guide for Securing MPLS Networks
Keep your company´s information secure wherever it goes.

Enterprises are demanding virtual private networks (VPNs) instead of costly leased lines and Ethernet and IP services instead of DS1 and DS3 services from their service providers. MPLS is now the best way for service providers to respond to those customer demands by providing Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS), or Layer 2 MPLS VPNs, and IP VPNs, or Layer 3 VPNs. However, VPNs are limited in their ability to serve the growing security needs of enterprise networks. VPNs enable a separation of enterprise traffic over the same service provider network, but do not enable a secure communication between the remote VPN sites. In order to avoid any risk of losing data, having it accessed or otherwise compromised, enterprises need to take an active role in protecting their data in motion on shared MPLS networks.
