With increasing pressure on organisations to provide staff with “go-anywhere” access to sensitive corporate data, SSL proxy access is becoming a mandatory part of the perimeter infrastructure. The convenience and flexibility that this technology affords brings with it an increase in the level and types of threat to the enterprise.
Whilst many vendors offer hardware or software solutions for this kind of access, it’s important to understand that all SSL access solutions are not the same. Perhaps more than any other technology, SSL access solutions represent a minefield to the unwary and impetuous. The process of selecting an appropriate product is as important as the deployment itself and the proper integration with existing infrastructure and services.
Why not talk to a consultant who can genuinely help you understand the impact of deploying this kind of technology, and work with you to define and implement a solution that protects the corporate LANs without compromising the individual needs of the users.
