Remote Access Solutions from SECURE COMPUTING®

Accessing the Network from Around the World

The nature of the network has changed. Web 2.0 applications, more powerful multifunction devices, UMPCs, and smart phones allow workers to achieve remote access to the network from any place, any time. In addition, the age of wireless broadband is now dawning—and the prospect of accessing a home network from any location, without wires, and at high speeds, will only create a higher demand for remote access, on the part of partners, customers, suppliers, and employees.

Beyond providing the access itself, IT managers must be concerned about the security of the connection. Since remote access means that the endpoint is out of physical reach, there must be an infrastructure in place to control these connections.

Remote access involves both authentication and authorization—so that the enterprise can be assured that those who are accessing the network remotely really are who they say they are, and once connected, they can access only the areas of the network they are authorized to see. Two-factor authentication, the foundation of Secure Computing's SafeWord®, is both simple to use, and yet is the strongest and most secure way to allow for remote access to the network.

SafeWord® products provide a complete solution for remote access control with a centralized system for managing user access to sensitive information across a wide range of access points and applications. SafeWord meets many of the remote access control challenges that organizations face, while providing convenient access and consistent security—and all with a single software product.

SafeWord allows convenient management of multiple remote access points, powerful role-based authorization, and easy installation and management.
