NetWolves today announced the availability of its new SSL VPN security service.
NetWolves' SSL VPN enables customers to provide business partners and mobile office workers with convenient and secure access to shared network resources.
NetWolves' SSL VPN service leverages the power and protection afforded by the Secure Socket Layer protocol, standard with today's popular web browsers, to access vital web-enabled resource applications on a company's protected network, including common email and file-share utilities. With NetWolves' SSL VPN, customers can provide authorized users with a simple key chain USB device and unique login password. The combination of these two security features provides formidable protection against unauthorized use resulting from password theft through such means as key logging or theft of the USB device itself.
For maximum flexibility and security, this two-factor authentication also ensures that no trace is left on the remote computer once the USB device is removed. Mobile workers and partners can safely access shared resources from home, the office, and less secure public Internet cafes.
Key benefits and features of NetWolves' SSL VPN service include:
-- There is no client software to install on remote PCs, and vital resource applications are easily maintained in a central location.
-- Secure end-to-end authentication and encryption exists from the client PC directly to resource applications.
-- Authentication via SSL proxy ensures that a trusted source is accessing the protected network.
-- Supports World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) compliant HTML, including many popular email and file sharing applications.
-- Remote monitoring and management are available using NetWolves' Secure Remote Monitoring and Management (SRM2) system.
-- This new service complements NetWolves' security and network continuity services such as ICSA-certified firewall and Intelligent Failover.
"Companies are being challenged to provide secure and efficient means of accessing critical resource applications residing on protected networks," said Walter Groteke, chairman and chief executive officer for NetWolves. "While IPSec VPN and private line solutions are ideal when a secure site-to-site method of transferring large applications is required, NetWolves' SSL VPN may be a smarter choice to implement for supporting business travelers and partners who require access only to email and small files."
