Why Switch from IPSec to an SSL VPN?
Remote access is becoming critical to organizations as network boundaries disappear and the workforce becomes more mobile and distributed. Today’s highly mobile teleworkers demand more secure access to more resources from more remote unmanaged devices and platforms than every before. Increasingly, organizations are discovering that their IPSec VPN solution is not meeting their remote access needs. As a result, organizations are investing in SSL VPN technology – a more flexible solution that features granular clientless access control and greater security for mobile devices. The result? A more secure and productive workforce.But is this the right choice for you?
