Background: The COVID-19 pandemic forced many organizations to rapidly transition existing employees to a
"work from home" situation. The overall success of such arrangements has encouraged many companies to
adopt Work From Home (previously known as "telework" or "telecommuniting") for all or part of the work week
as a permanent strategy. In these situations, a secure means of accessing the organization's internal networks
and resources must be provided to the dispersed workforce. Virtual Private Networks are a frequently deployed
technology solution capable of addressing and compensating for the myriad privacy and security concerns that
arise in "Work from Home" or telecommuting situations.
VPN's depend upon tunneling protocols as foundation technologies. For this briefing paper, identify and
discuss the four main tunneling protocols that can be used to provide virtual private network access between
remote users and a company's internal (corporate) networks and resources. Provide examples of how each
protocol can be used within a VPN solution.

an introduction, analysis sections, and an appropriate summary section. Include citations (in the text) and
references (at the end) to support your work and allow your readers to fact check your analysis and
conclusions
