About Secure Remote Access


 Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) have been developed to allow the use of a public network, such as the Internet, for secure communication. There are essentially, two types of VPN;

  1. Site to site VPN
  2. Remote User to Site VPN

In order to overcome the proprietary nature of early VPN's the IEEE came up with the IPSec standard to enable interoperability of VPN gateways. This standard has emerged to be the main commercial standard. The IPSec standard normally uses the Triple DES algorithm for encryption. However more recently a new standard has emerged - AES, which is a more efficient algorithm. Any VPN requires quite heavy processing power to encrypt and decrypt data.

Using IPSec requires the remote client to have software loaded locally, which encrypts and decrypts all data at the client. The gateway device does the encryption and decryption at the remote site. The deployment of IPSec client software to all remote users has created management issues. In 2003 we have seen the development of "clientless" VPN's for remote users, based upon the Secure Socket Layer encryption used to secure web pages. These are ideal for some simple, quick, secure remote user access.

AppGate USB Client

The AppGate USB client is designed to be used on personal computers when connecting to an AppGate Security Server. It is a client that does not rely on, or use, the ordinary operating system on the machine. It will execute in a secure and trusted environment regardless of the configuration of the original operating system on the computer. In addition, it does not access or store any data on the local hard disks on the PC and will therefore not leave any traces or residues when the session to the AppGate server is closed.

Becrypt Trusted Client

IT Directors face a dilemma - the need to enable workforce mobility whilst ensuring a secure isolated environment for network security. Trusted Client solves the dilemma by offering low cost highly secure mobile access to networks and data, drastically reducing the risk of data loss and insecure access. It is a secure isolated environment on a USB stick.

SA 2000

The Juniper Networks Secure Access 2000 (SA 2000) SSL VPN enables small- to medium-sized companies to deploy cost-effective remote and extranet access, as well as intranet security. Users can access the corporate network and applications from any standard Web browser. The SA 2000 uses SSL, the security protocol found in all standard Web browsers, as a secure access transport mechanism. The use of SSL eliminates the need for client-software deployment, changes to internal servers, and costly ongoing maintenance.

SA 4000

The Juniper Networks Secure Access 4000 (SA 4000) SSL VPNs enable mid-to-large-sized organizations to provide cost-effective remote and partner extranet access from any standard Web browers. Based on the award-winning IVE platform, the SA 4000 appliances feature rich access-privilege management functionality, that can be used to create secure customer/partner extranets with no infrastructure changes, no DMZ deployments, and no software agents. This functionality also allows the enterprise to secure access to the corporate intranet, so that different employee and visitor populations can utilize exactly the resources they need, while adhering to enterprise-security policies. Built-in compression for all traffic types speeds performance, and SSL acceleration is available via a software license for more demanding environments.

SA 6000

The Juniper Networks Secure Access 6000 (SA 6000) SSL VPN appliances is designed for medium to large enterprises and features best-in-class performance, scalability, and redundancy for organizations with high-volume secure access and authorization requirements.

SA 700

The Juniper Networks Secure Access 700 (SA 700) SSL VPN appliance provides small to medium enterprises a secure, cost-effective way to deploy remote access to the corporate network. Because the SA 700 uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to provide encrypted transport, it enables instant remote access from just a Web browser. This clientless architecture eliminates the high cost of installing, configuring, and maintaining client software on every device, significantly reducing the total cost of ownership versus traditional VPN solutions. SSL delivery also eliminates the Network Address Translation (NAT) and firewall traversal issues encountered with traditional remote access products, allowing your remote users reliable and ubiquitous access from external networks such as home or hotels.
