Remote Access
An increasing amount of data is being stored on the network and work conducted online that has to be protected.
The nomadic business environment has given birth to a generation of mobile workers and road warriors who demand remote access to the network and its applications to be able to work more effectively and productively. However, the technologies and devices used to empower the workforce also open up the network to the risk of intrusion and therefore make it more vulnerable to being compromised.
Against a backdrop of tightening compliance regulations and accountability, an increasing amount of data is being stored on the network and work conducted online that has to be protected. The need for secure remote access capabilities for mobile users and devices to protect corporate assets while catering for the changing working locations of employees is essential. Which area of remote access would you like to find our more about?
SSL-VPN
Enable simple to use secure remote access and support existing security control policies.
Remote workers need to connect to corporate applications from their mobile devices from any location whether that is coffee shops, hotel rooms or the airport. They also want the process to be simple and easy.
On the other hand, the enterprise needs guarantees that the provision of remote access is secured to ensure infected devices aren't admitted onto the network. The combination of these factors has seen SSL VPN's become the standard for secure remote access to corporate applications.
Avnet offers technologies to enable simple to use secure remote access and support companies security control policies.
Two Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication can add security and help reduce password complexity for users using remote access technology, like SSL VPNs.
With the rise in distributed workforces and the variety of devices from which users require remote access, the need for strong and reliable network protection has never been greater. Enterprises need guarantees about who is accessing sensitive data but traditional authentication methods suffer from inherent weaknesses and can no longer be relied upon as an effective security measure.
Passwords are flawed and are easily compromised particularly with the use of increasingly sophisticated tools. Two factor authentication provides a simple solution for heightened network security by generating unique passwords for each new logon, enhancing companies confidence in the integrity of remote access. Companies of all sizes should be looking for an affordable remote access solution that adds a hardened layer of security with two factor authentication.

Client Acceleration
Consolidation and virtualisation in the datacentre is rapidly gaining momentum amongst organisations for their ability to achieve IT efficiency and drive down network costs and reduce complexity. Conversely, organisations are increasingly dispersed, leaving remote and mobile users traversing low bandwidth, high latency networks to access business critical applications. This results in poor application performance and frustrated and unproductive remote users.
We recommend the following solution to address these communications challenges and help provide accelerated and secure application delivery for the remote and mobile workforce.
RADIUS
RADIUS enables remote access servers to communicate with a central server to authenticate users and authorise access to requested systems or services.
Authenticating users and access policy is a key component of maintaining secure remote access for enterprises. RADIUS enables remote access servers to communicate with a central server to authenticate users and authorise access to requested systems or services.
By preventing unauthorised access and ensuring that users comply with security policy and are given the appropriate level of access, RADIUS enables companies to control how users access and use the networks.
