Remote access is no longer a luxury

Mobile sales teams, remote workers, telecommuters, strategic partners and other trusted users all need timely, secure access to specific data on your corporate network. Yet some remote-access systems rely on little more than usernames and passwords and lack robust authentication and encryption components.

The remote-access boom is undeniable. Today's mobile and global workforces demand anywhere, anytime access to information. Roughly 82% of large companies now have virtual private networks in place, up sharply from 55% in 2003, reports Forrester Research Inc. The majority of this momentum is behind IP virtual private networks (VPN), which use technologies such as IPsec, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Multiprotocol Label Switching to provide low-cost, site-to-site and remote-access connectivity.
