  3. Current Issues… • Insecure MIPs • 152 insecure MIPs from ANY source • 50 Remote Desktop (TCP 3389) • 64 “Any” service • Support • ICT staff spend many days in the year on support for remote access issues using the traditional IPSec client • May have no control over the host PC the user is connecting from • Third parties have to setup site-to-site IPSec VPN for every site they manage • Control • No granular level of control of resources users can access

  4. What is SSL VPN? • A VPN accessed via HTTPS from any browser (theoretically). • SSL VPNs require minimal client configuration

  5. Advantages of SSL VPN • Removal of insecure MIPs as no longer required • 152 insecure MIPs from ANY source • 50 Remote Desktop (TCP 3389) • 64 “Any” service • Ease of support. Freeing up time for other projects • No client management all security policies such as host checking centralised. • Host checking enables greater control of what devices are allowed access into the network • Granular level of control for users to internal resources • Third parties can easily remotely manage sites by a few mouse clicks and no additional software is required • No additional databases to manage since authentication can be tied into the existing authentication domains (e.g. Active Directory)
