Using encrypted VPN traffi c to connect to the application gateway will help
prevent data from being compromised. Using IAG 2007 Network Connector SSL
VPN, this traffi c is tunneled using a SSL connection. Company employees will establish
connections from remote locations, such as their home or a branch offi ce. Client
computers will install a Network Connector Client application when they reach
the Whale Communication IAG 2007 Portal, allowing them to connect to the internal
network using SSL, and eliminate the usability problems that were previously caused
by L2TP or PPTP connections.
A large number of companies are allowing employees to do work from home.
Allowing employees to access the internal resources of the company??™s infrastructure
can benefi t the productivity of a company. When users connect to the internal network
using an insecure network (the Internet), there are security risks involved. In addition,
the client??™s computer may be in an unknown security state creating additional security
risks. Using VPN, which encrypt the traffi c, has helped to reduce the vulnerabilities
associated with remote connection. Network administrators can use Microsoft Forefront
to provide this functionality in environments and for applications for which it was
previously unavailable using tunneling SSL connections through the Whale Communication
IAG. Administrators can also require compliance with Windows updates, antivirus,
anti-spyware, and/or other applications prior to allowing a client VPN access to
the corporate network.
