Remote Access with SSL VPN Technology

Solution Benefits

SSL VPN technology enables anytime, anywhere secure access from any web-enabled device. Use cases include employee remote access, emergency user access and partner extranet portals. SSL VPN increases productivity while reducing costs.

The SSL VPN combines the security of SSL with standards-based access controls, granular policy creation, and unparalleled flexibility. The result provides ubiquitous security for all enterprise tasks with options for increasingly stringent levels of access control to protect the most sensitive applications and data. SSL VPN Appliances deliver lower total cost of ownership over traditional IPsec client solutions and unique end-to-end security features.

The use of SSL eliminates the need for pre-installed client software, changes to internal servers, and costly ongoing maintenance and desktop support. SSL VPNs also offer sophisticated partner/customer extranet features that enable controlled access to differentiated users and groups without requiring infrastructure changes, demilitarized zone (DMZ) deployments, or software agents.

• Allows anytime, anywhere access from any Web-enabled device
