Introduction
With the growing amount of information that travels on your local area network
(LAN), confidential information has become a target for intruders both inside
and outside your company. These intruders may be employees, visitors to your
company, or a hacker who breaks through your firewall.

between computers on your LAN. This protects confidential data from being
retrieved by intruders.
