In today's business environment, more types of access are being
provisioned into networks. Traditional VPN technology, as well as
Web-based access and internal user access, has created a number of
different ingress/egress points that need to be secured. With branch
office and remote location connections, bandwidth and availability can
be impacted, as can the overall ability to secure the environment. In
this webcast, we'll discuss the current technologies used for remote
access and remote user security, as well as newer advancements in
security gateway technology.
