ABSTRACT:
As SSL VPN technology becomes more mainstream and organizations extend their internal infrastructures to users who are not necessarily employees, Endpoint security has become an increasing concern. It is no longer enough to protect your assets from an unknown malicious intruder. Organizations need to protect against trusted employees connecting from their un-patched home computers or protect against that same trusted employee entering their sensitive user credentials on a public terminal at a conference. Remote Access has become simultaneously easier and more complex. IPSec typically has only been offered to employees, with strict settings, specific ports and virtually no endpoint check. SSL VPN has made it easier for anyone to connect to network resources while becoming complex for the very same reason. With so many different types of users connecting from a slew of various devices, and needing access to vastly different internal resources, it's important to inspect every requesting host to ensure both the user AND the device can be trusted.
