Implementation
SSL VPN

Improve and Secure Remote Access

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPNs utilize browser-based initiation of a VPN connection, rather than requiring installation of a software client. Reliable and easy to use, SSL VPN is ideal for casual or ad hoc employee VPN access because it doesn’t require a unique IP address for authentication.

Not surprisingly, SSL VPN is also being implemented increasingly to grant access for business partners, contract employees and employees who travel frequently. In fact, according to some estimates, by 2008 SSL VPN will become the primary method of remote access for a mojority of telecommuters and contract employees, as well as for casual employee access.

Applying our years of industry experience, TruArx has developed a comprehensive SSL VPN implementation plan, which starts by helping organizations determine the optimal network architecture to accomodate an SSL VPN solution. We then help document the networks, devices and applications to which it will be connected. Additional features of the plan include:

  • Setting up proper routing to allow access to all required networks

  • Enabling and configure high-availability

  • Working to determine which applications are to be published

  • Configuring devices to support client applications

  • Creating configurations for users to access applications

  • Setting up rudimentary host checking, as needed
