Assurance Data

Secure Remote Access enables mobile employees, home workers, extranet partners, customers and other authorized users to access business critical applications and resources – thereby increasing productivity. Secure remote access is also an ideal business continuity solution with which to prepare for emergencies, where employees can't make it into the office.

With an increasingly mobile workforce, and more users using more applications across a broader mix of devices, it is important to select a secure remote access solution that fully addresses several key considerations:

• Users will not always own or have access to corporate managed devices, and as such, must be able to securely access from any Web-enabled device. A secure remote access solution must ensure that, regardless of the end-point, security is assured and business critical resources are not jeopardized.

• Some applications are Web-enabled, others aren’t. Some users can be trusted with full network connectivity, others can’t. Today’s secure remote access solutions must be able to support any mix of Web, native, and thin client applications as well as provide for both layer three and layer seven access.

• Legacy IPSec solutions require client software and introduce significant IT administrative overhead; in addition, IPSec provides only encryption and has no provisions for enforcing access control policies. An ideal secure remote access solution will fully address these shortcomings.

• Time is money. Everyone knows applications run fast in the office; applications extended over the WAN are a different story. Secure remote access solutions that introduce zero latency, include application acceleration technologies, and have the capacity to support a large number of users, will go a long way towards satisfying business objectives and user demands.

Array Networks addresses these considerations with an SSL VPN secure remote access solution that provides an industry-leading mix of ease-of-use, ease-of-deployment, performance and scalability, multi-layer security, and broad application and device support.
