Securing the SSL VPN Revolution

10 February 2004

You can't miss reading about one or more of the SSL or 'Clientless VPN' systems that have hit the market during this year. They are making it easy to give your users 'Anywhere Access' to your corporate applications without the complexity of traditional VPN system.

All your user needs is a web browser on any Internet connected PC to access central Windows, Unix or mainframe applications on your corporate network - with all traffic being encrypted in an SSL tunnel.

Identity is key: However encryption solves only half of the security puzzle, it must be coupled with strong user authentication to give complete security. You've got to be sure that a user connecting from an Internet café really is who they claim to be. Static passwords just don't cut it, and many clients are finding that Signify's one-time passcode services using RSA SecurID tokens and SMS messaging are perfect.

Signify supports all the leading players: Our services integrate with all the leading SSL VPN appliances from Aventail, Checkpoint Connectra, Juniper/Neoteris, Netilla, Nokia, Portwise, Whale and other vendors.

Free trial service: If you are testing any of these devices, call us for a free Signify trial service so you can see the complete solution in operation. It takes only minutes to set up and find that we really do 'solve the password problem'.
