TriCipher Solutions: SSL VPN

Unlike legacy Internet Protocol Security (IPSEC) VPNs, SSL VPNs authenticate users and encrypt traffic using the SSL protocol that is built into the Internet, taking advantage of user’s familiarity with web browsers. SSL VPNs are also an ideal solution for quickly providing remote access to a large number of users in emergency situation such as a pandemic, natural disaster, or terrorist attack. While using web browsers for remote access to enterprise has tremendous usability and cost benefits, putting a remote access portal on the public Internet can also introduce a vulnerable entry point into the enterprise network. To effectively protect SSL VPNs from attacks targeting login credentials, enterprises need to increase the security of their user credentials to provide strong two-way SSL authentication (i.e. client and server).

The TriCipher Armored Credential System (TACS) provides a strong authentication solution for SSL VPNs that can cut remote access authentication costs in half, prevent attacks that compromise passwords and OTP Tokens and is as easy to use as entering a username and password.
