Increasingly organisations are demanding that their IT service users can access the network remotely. The increased flexibility and competitive edge that this provides clear cut benefits. But how can you open up the network to external users and unmanaged devices without compromising your security posture?
A Secure Socket Layer Virtual Private Network (SSL VPN) will allow external users to connect to the network whilst maintaining a very high level of security.
Protect confidential data: Creates an ‘airlock’ between your network and the outside world. Safeguards your sensitive data and intellectual property from unauthorised access. Checks whether hosts and devices comply with your security policy before granting access.
Low maintenance: The simplicity of the solution for end-users helps to reduce support queries. Minimal user training is required, resulting in cost and resource savings. No special client configuration is required to set up new users. The solution uses readily available HTTPS ports.
Support flexible working: Service users can securely connect from any device. Can act as a portal for data access, web links, file shares and for hosting web meetings.
Business continuity: Can make a significant contribution to business continuity when users are unable to user their usual access points.
Compliance: SSL VPN is often required under regulatory compliance such as PCI and Data Protection.
Axial Systems services: On-site training for support engineers. Full product life-time telephone support supplied as standard. Free QuickStart training courses available.
