Abstract

With the widespread adoption of Virtual Private Networks during COVID, VPNs proved a valuable target for hackers looking for entry into enterprise networks. Attacks have risen dramatically in recent years, and further investigation into the vulnerabilities exploited seemed warranted. This is done with a view to categorising the attacks and building a model that outlines appropriate steps at remediation and limiting of risk where possible. If codified into a framework, this should provide a path to greater overall security while allowing for remote access to networks.
