Secure Remote Access

Secure remote access is perhaps one of the strongest drivers for the implementation of stronger identity solutions. Historically however, remote access has been addressed using point solutions that only served a single purpose. While this works, it tends to be more expensive over the longer term and does not provide much flexibility. Increasingly, secure remote access solutions should be viewed as a critical component of a broader enterprise identity management strategy.

Secure remote access solutions might include smart cards, certificates, one-time password devices or biometrics. A combination of these options might also make sense for a particular organization. Technologies such as Microsoft’s Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG) – previously known as Intelligent Application Gateway (IAG) 2007 – provides an easy and secure remote access solution with a focus on application intelligence and granular access control. Forefront UAG is an integrated remote access solution that provides centralized management and policy control across all users, devices and network resources.

The right selection of technology is based on many characteristics of the organization, including the typical profile of the end user, geographical distribution, security considerations and many others. Avaleris can help wade through these considerations and help implement the right solution for the task.
