360Quadrants, the world’s only comparison platform that combines expert analysis with crowdsourced reviews, has released a quadrant on Cloud VPN software to help businesses make quicker and more informed decisions.

Cloud VPN operates on cloud-based network infrastructure and is sometimes referred to as hosted VPN or VPN as a Service (VPNaaS). Cloud VPN provides global VPN access to end users such as subscribers and third-party users over the public internet. A VPN is mostly meant to permit a user, an internet connection, over a server, run by an enterprise. As most of the data or information on the server is encrypted for privacy, a cloud VPN software can provide secure access over the internet for use of a private network through a virtual environment.

The cloud VPN market has been segmented into component (software, services), connectivity type (site-to-site, remote access), organization size (SMEs, large enterprises), end user (service providers, verticals), and region.
