What are three reasons that an organization with multiple branch offices and roaming users might implement a Cisco VPN solution instead of point-to-point WAN links? (Choose three.)

The correct answer is A. reduced cost D. increased security E. scalability. (A) Reduced cost - VPNs tunnel over the public internet, eliminating the need for expensive dedicated WAN circuits. (D) Increased security - VPNs use encryption (e.g., IPsec) and authentication, providing confidentiality and integrity for data in transit. (E) Scalability - adding

Explanation

(A) Reduced cost - VPNs tunnel over the public internet, eliminating the need for expensive dedicated WAN circuits. (D) Increased security - VPNs use encryption (e.g., IPsec) and authentication, providing confidentiality and integrity for data in transit. (E) Scalability - adding new branch offices or remote users to a VPN requires minimal infrastructure changes compared to provisioning new point-to-point WAN links for each site. (B) Better throughput is incorrect because VPNs share public internet bandwidth and add encryption overhead. (C) Broadband incompatibility is incorrect - VPNs work well with broadband. (F) Reduced latency is incorrect - VPN encryption and internet routing often introduce more latency than dedicated WAN links.
