SSL VPN Solutions Provide Secure Network Access

Cisco SSL VPN solutions (formerly known as Cisco WebVPN solutions) give you a flexible and secure way to extend networking resources to virtually any remote user with access to the Internet and a Web browser. The Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.0 now provides enhanced SSL VPN functionality to increase the ease, security, and control of SSL VPN connections.

Remote access based on SSL VPN delivers secure access to network resources by establishing an encrypted tunnel across the Internet using a broadband (cable, DSL) or ISP dialup connection. The ubiquity of the Internet, combined with today's VPN technologies, let you cost-effectively and securely extend the reach of your network to:

• Telecommuters
• Work-day extenders
• Contractors
• Mobile workers
• Business partners

Cisco SSL VPN solutions can be customized for businesses of any size. These solutions deliver remote access connectivity features and benefits such as:

• Web-based clientless access and full network access without preinstalled desktop software: Facilitates customized remote access based on user and security requirements. Minimizes desktop support costs.
• Threat-protected VPN: Protects against viruses, worms, spyware, and hackers on a VPN connection by integrating network and endpoint security in the Cisco SSL VPN platform. Reduces cost and management complexity by eliminating the need for additional security equipment and management infrastructure.
• Simple, flexible, and cost-effective licensing: Requires a single license; no per-feature licenses to purchase or manage. User count upgrades are flexible and cost-effective; start with as few as 10 users and scale as your needs change.
• Single device for both SSL VPN and IPsec VPN: Reduces cost and management complexity by facilitating robust remote access and site-to-site VPN services from a single platform with unified management.
