OpenVPN support for Azure VPN Gateways --- point-to-site P2S

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/openvpn-support-for-azure-vpn-gateways/

Azure Virtual Network Gateways now support OpenVPN as a protocol for point-to-site (P2S) clients to connect. A P2S VPN gateway connection lets you create a secure connection to your virtual network from an individual client computer. A P2S connection is established by starting it from the client computer.

The CIA Triad is a conceptual model for thinking about the security of information.

The CIA Triad is a conceptual model for thinking about the security of information. The triad is composed of the concepts of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. There are multiple conceptual models for thinking about information security. Other conceptual models, such as the OECD’s Guidelines for the Security of Information Systems and Networks have nine principles, and the NIST’s Engineering Principles for Information Technology Security model has 33 principles. While there is no single generally agreed upon conceptual model for describing all aspects of information security, a benefit of the CIA Triad is its simplicity, which drives easy adoption by both information security workers as well as other stakeholders within the organization.
