A virtual private network (VPN) is a security control mechanism that creates a secure and encrypted connection between two networks over a public network such as the internet1. A VPN can help an organization to achieve the desired security for data backup and replication between the data center and cloud by:

Protecting data in transit from unauthorized access, interception, or modification2.

Ensuring data confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity by using encryption algorithms and authentication protocols2.

Providing network access control by verifying the identity of users and devices before granting access to resources2.

Enabling remote access to cloud resources from any location without compromising security3
