Question

a firm would consider establishing a virtual private network if it wanted to
multiple choice
set up a secure network connection with another firm for a short period of time
prevent people who are not employees from being able to access its network
obtain a broadband connection to the internet
simulate a network before it became operational in order to identify any security leaks

Explanation:

A virtual - private network (VPN) is often used to create a secure connection between two entities, such as two firms, for a short - term or long - term basis. It encrypts data and provides a secure tunnel over the public network. Preventing non - employees from accessing the network can be done with firewalls and access controls rather than primarily a VPN. Obtaining a broadband connection is a different infrastructure task. Simulating a network for security leaks is more related to network testing and simulation tools, not VPNs.

Answer:

set up a secure network connection with another firm for a short period of time
