Remote access is critical in today's business, especially in light of flexible working, adverse weather or events causing employees to work from home or out of the office. Lost productivity isn't an option.

Secure remote access through a Secure Sockets Layer Virtual Private Network (SSL VPN) appliance can optimise productivity and reduce IT overhead and Total Cost of Ownership by supporting employees to work from anywhere, anytime, simply and efficiently.

Positioned between users and business networks and applications, SSL VPNs represent a critical tool in the effective management of security and business risks in a remote or mobile environment.

However, for maximum value a stable remote access 'tunnel' must be genuinely secured to protect business networks and data whilst making it easy for both end users and administrators to gain access. This is especially true in industries that require a regulatory-compliant environment. It is mission critical.

Two factor authentication is the most concrete mechanism of achieving secure access and with a web based approach the ongoing maintenance costs can be reduced by 73%.

A combined SonicWall SSL VPN and Pinsafe two factor authentication solution delivers:

• Fast ROI by increasing remote access productivity
• Sustainable long term budget savings from reduced cost of ownership
• High availability
• Total validation of increased security
• Easy-to-use remote access with increased security
