SSL for Virtual Private Networking (VPN)

A Secure Socket Layer-based Virtual Private Network (SSL VPN) allows applications and private network resources to be accessed remotely through a secure connection. Using SSL VPN, mobile workers, business partners, and customers can access files or applications on a company’s intranet or within a private local area network.

Organizations use Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to establish secure, end-to-end private network connections over a public networking infrastructure, allowing them to reduce their communications expenses and to provide private, secure connections between a user and a site in the organization. By offering Secure Socket Layer (SSL) VPN, without the expense of special feature licensing, the SMA appliance provides customers with cost-effective alternatives to deploying parallel remote-access infrastructures.
