Use an edge router appliance with proper VPN support. You are from |
| 35 |
Germany? I can recommend Securepoint appliances. You pay for the |
| 36 |
hardware and support, they support you with setting everything up. You |
| 37 |
can also find a distributor who can install this for you. Securepoint |
| 38 |
works with competent partners all around Germany. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
There's also other alternatives like Watchguard (but their OpenVPN |
| 41 |
support is not that good), and a lot of free router/firewall softwares |
| 42 |
you can deploy to semi-professional equipment by firmware replacement. |
| 43 |
But at least with the latter option, you're mostly on your own and need |
| 44 |
to invest a lot of effort to make it work properly and secure. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Depending on what data is transferred, you should also take into |
| 47 |
account if your solution is certificated to transfer such data. E.g. |
| 48 |
medical data may only be transferred through properly certificated VPN |
| 49 |
appliances. Otherwise, you should fall back to sneakernet. I'm not sure |
| 50 |
how that is any more secure but that's how things are. |
