Cisco IOS SSL VPN

Extend Your Network to Any Location

Securely widen your network's reach to wherever employees need access. Cisco IOS SSL VPN, the industry's first router-based Secure Sockets Layer VPN solution, offers "anywhere" connectivity not only from company-managed resources but also from employee-owned PCs, contractor or business partner desktops, and Internet kiosks. Cisco Secure Desktop, a component of SSL VPN, provides data theft prevention even on noncorporate devices.

SSL VPNs offers remote-access connectivity from almost any Internet-enabled location using a standard Web browser and its native SSL encryption. Required software is dynamically downloaded on an as-needed basis, thereby minimizing desktop software maintenance. Cisco IOS SSL VPN supports clientless access to applications such as intranet content, email, network file shares, and Citrix. The Cisco SSL VPN Client enables full network access remotely to virtually any application.
