About the White Paper:
In today's technology environment, comprehensive remote access to a company's internal network is becoming a basic business requirement, regardless of company size or industry. Whether providing remote access for employees or creating extranet access for third parties such as advisors, suppliers or contractors, the question for network administrators is increasingly focused on choosing the right remote access solution. In weighing their options, network administrators face a bewildering set of overlapping products and technologies from multiple vendors, each claiming a superior approach. For example, while the majority of current remote-access solutions utilize IPSec-based virtual private networks (VPNs), several companies have begun offering remote-access technology based on SSL encryption, arguing that SSL-based remote-access solutions are easier to deploy and manage. The purpose of this white paper is to examine the different approaches of IPSec and SSL within the context of a comprehensive remote access solution.
