Authentication for Remote Working

		INFO & KNOWLEGDE

Efficient mobile working requires location independent access to internal information. Is a SSL- authenticated access not sufficient you need a possibility to establish a secure connection to the internal network. Conventional RAS-connections through PSTN is offering a certain security but has other disadvantages. Today using broadband with a VPN-tunnel is the solutioin.

Prinzip eines VPN Tunnel

VPNs establish a connection to the internal Network - similar is and also possible is a secured terminal server session.

What's is applied to workstations and domains, this has to be applied to VPNs and Terminalservers of course, because there is access to networks is granted and there is no physical presence necessary. For this reasons strong authentication for VPN and Terminal Server Sessions is essential because risk is higher than it was ever on Wardialing in the stone age of Remote Computing.
