Exploring the Effectiveness of VPN Architecture in Enhancing Network Security for Mobile Networks: An Investigation Study

Abstract

The rapid development of technology in communications has transformed the operations of companies and institutions, paving the way for increased productivity, revenue growth, and enhanced customer service. Multimedia calls and other modern communication technologies boost mobile network, thus their utilization is critical to moving the business forward. However, these widely used networks are also vulnerable to security threats, leading network vendors and technicians to implement various techniques to ensure network safety. As the need to safeguard technologies grow and there has been a significant increase in growth the idea of a virtual private network (VPN) emerged as a key strategy for tackling the threat to network security. the authors suggested looking into this issue and presenting the findings of a study that contained insightful observations from the literature reviews that served as the primary source of research besides questionnaire responses as opinions from those who have experience in the network industry and its security. Through this research, it became evident that several technologies and approaches exist to safeguard networks, but the Transport Layer Security (TLS) architecture stood out as a superior solution, particularly for mobile networks.
