How
the Firebox® SSL Solution Compares
to Others
Whether
you're already considering an alternative
to IPSec VPN tunnels or just beginning
to think about how to set up remote
access for your employees, here's what
you need to understand to make the right
decision. When
is SSL VPN a better choice than IPSec
VPN?
How
it works
The
Firebox® SSL VPN solution gives users
anywhere access by providing two powerful
access modes in one solution to extend
the network's reach. In Secure Access
client mode, users can work with client/server
applications, file servers, printer
servers, and any other network resource
just as they would when connected
to a LAN. In Kiosk mode, they can
access Web applications, as well as
additional supported applications,
from any Web-enabled device, such
as PDAs and smart phones, no matter
where they are.

Dependable,
Universal Access
Overcomes the access limitations of other SSL VPN solutions,
giving you two powerful
access modes in one solution
to extend your network's
reach.
- Secure
Access client mode
Authorized users connect
using an auto-updating,
Web-deployed client
for an in-office experience.
- Users access any
application or network
resource just as
they would when
connected to the
LAN
- Provides client
failover capabilities,
to keep remote connections
always up and running
- Kiosk mode
Authorized users can
access Web-based and
supported applications
from Web-enabled devices
whose browsers support
SSL in Java™ or Microsoft®
Windows® environments,
such as PDAs and smart
phones.
Regardless
of the mode used, Firebox®
SSL VPN Gateway traverses
any firewall and supports
all major operating systems
and protocols including
TCP, UDP (VoIP), and ICMP.
Powerful Security
Firebox®
SSL Core™ VPN Gateway
provides robust security
from the access device
to the network, from managed
and unmanaged devices.
- Continuously
verifies endpoint security
status when allowing
network access, by checking
device attributes including
IP address, firewall
settings, operating
system, patch level,
and status of antivirus
software
- Encryption:
196-bit TLS supports
all OpenSSL cipher including
3DES and RC4
- Hides
IP addresses of remote
network to block worm
traversal
- Session
timeout protects corporate
information from unauthorized
users
- Kiosk
mode sessions transmit
images, not data, so
no cache cleaning is
required
- Additional
security capabilities,
including support for
two-factor authentication
and authorized digital
certificates, alleviate
security concerns for
extending network access
- Can be deployed with
a Firebox® X integrated
security appliance to
add protection from
network, application,
and content-based attacks
Strong Administrative
Control
IT administrators can quickly deploy and manage user and group
access from a single centralized
location with integrated
logging and reporting.
- Assign
access policies for
users and groups with
robust authentication
support including LDAP,
Radius, Windows® Domain,
and RSA SecurID®
- Control
which devices gain network
access through built-in
endpoint security checks
- Use advanced networking
functions including
IP pooling, optional
split tunneling, load
balance support and
dynamic or static routing
to provide the flexibility
needed for evolving
network topologies
Unmatched Ease
of Use
Get
robust, secure access
out of the box without
additional costs, reconfiguration,
development work, or administrative
headaches to get up and
running fast and stay
that way.
- No
additional components,
adapters, or special
application connectors
are required to get
universal network and
application access
- No client installation,
maintenance, or support
is needed - the client
is automatically updated
whenever the user connects
to the network

of Ownership

additional adapters,
application connectors,
or complex network reconfiguration

client installation
