  How?

        So far is has proven to be secure, because I assessed the needed
security for our environment and compared that to the needed performance and
functionality of our business. I came to the conclusion that the Microsoft
VPN client was secure enough for our infrastructure, while providing better
performance than using the IPSEC protocol. WE have many remote and traveling
sales engineers who frequent hotels with crappy dial-up connections, and the
IPSEC client was just too bandwidth intensive. Though I am sure their are
ways to circumvent this problem, we deemed it to not be high priority, not
saying that we won't eventually move into the IPSEC realm. To Date, knock on
wood, we have had to security breaches, involving the VPN system.
