EPN vs. VPN: Key Differences Explained

The document compares and contrasts an Enterprise Private Network (EPN) and a Virtual Private Network (VPN). An EPN is a private network built by a company to connect its sites, while a VPN builds a private network over a public infrastructure like the Internet using encryption. Both allow secure communication but a VPN is more flexible and has relatively lower costs than an EPN, which requires a full-time network administrator.
