Richard M. Hicks, a globally recognized expert with Microsoft enterprise mobility solutions including Always On VPN and DirectAccess, is proud to announce the availability of his latest book “Implementing Always On VPN.”

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA (PRWEB)January 11, 2022 - “Implementing Always On VPN” (Apress Media, ISBN 978-1484277409), a new book by Richard M. Hicks, is now available. This book covers the latest Microsoft secure remote access technology for Windows 11 and Windows 10, called Always On VPN.

Like its predecessor DirectAccess, Always On VPN provides seamless, transparent, and always-on remote network connectivity for Windows 11 and Windows 10 clients. Always On VPN is implemented using modern cloud management platforms like Microsoft Endpoint Manager (formerly Intune). It also integrates with Azure Active Directory and supports advanced cloud security features such as Azure Multifactor Authentication and Conditional Access.

Microsoft is no longer investing in DirectAccess and is now focused exclusively on Always On VPN. Until now, administrators had to rely on sparse documentation from Microsoft that often lacked context and covered only limited deployment scenarios.

“Implementing Always On VPN” is a comprehensive implementation guide that contains detailed, prescriptive guidance for planning, designing, configuring, supporting, and troubleshooting all aspects of an Always On VPN deployment. The book will be a vital resource for administrators planning to adopt this new technology now and in the future. “Implementing Always On VPN” is full of practical knowledge gained from many years of experience deploying Always On VPN for organizations worldwide. It covers various deployment scenarios and includes critical insight into current implementation and security best practices.

“Richard is the go-to expert for Microsoft Always On VPN. He helped our organization deploy this solution in the middle of a pandemic while all of our users were remote,” said Dan Vohasek, Microsoft Azure and Cloud Engineer for Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP. “If you want to support your company using Always On VPN, Richard’s new book should be considered required reading.”

This essential reference will be invaluable for those considering an Always On VPN deployment. Visit https://aovpnbook.com/ for additional information.
