In the last two decades, the hiring of mercenaries and private military and security companies (PMSC’s) in conflict areas has significantly increased. This outsourcing has grown very rapidly with the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, and while prominent global powers such as the US have become more reliant on services provided by private military firms and mercenaries, weak states as well as international governmental organisations have also recurrently outsourced military operations.

Additionally, when remote workers are employed by organizations it is important to provide the employee with a secure connection to the network and server. By using a VPN, the establishment of a safe connection can ensue. For example, when buying locks to keep homes or businesses safe there is a different key for every lock. This means like keys; the VPN establishes a secure connection that does not allow for intrusions to occur by using the Internet (Stewart 19). The remote connection is…

Yet the consequences are usually the same”(Karsa and Karski 16). This acquisition then resumes, as they point out that with current practices, these private industries are pretty much on their own, without any accountability for…
Inevitably there is a security risk in accessing any database on the internet. The internet houses a variety of malware. Engineers attempt to discover security risks users experience and mitigate them. VPN connections can enable users and organizations dealing with confidential information the ability to avoid having their data observed or stolen.
