[TRENDS]
"Five years ago, remote access began to shift towards web-based "clientless" VPNs. Today, that evolution has come full-circle, with contemporary platforms offering a range of customizable secure access methods, from "anywhere" web access to rich install-on-demand SSL VPN clients. New innovations focus more extensively on the data center and reducing TCO through streamlined, unified management tools and cloud-based Software-as-a-Service delivery models." -- Lisa Phifer, president, Core Competence
