(Technical) The A to Z of Securing an SSL VPN |
|
To stay competitive in today’s dynamic global market businesses have to provide employees with easy and cost-effective remote access to applications and resources. As the demand for this functionality has increased, it has led to astounding advances in remote access technology. Businesses have transitioned from noisy modems at 2400bps with unreliable connections to expensive VPN access with poor throughput, and most recently to fast broadband connections using SSL VPNs (Secure Socket Layer/Virtual Private Networks). But no matter how remote access technologies have changed, one thing remains constant: To provide true security an organization must be able to positively identify every user attempting to access the system.
Although today’s SSL VPNs from Cisco, Microsoft, network providers, and application developers appear at first glance to have made network access more secure than ever, the simple fact is that today’s hacker is more capable than ever at defeating new security systems. And, as a result, static passwords pose the weakest link in any security solution, even SSL VPNs.
