SSL VPNs are a great remote access solution because they don't require IT departments to upgrade and manage client software—all a user needs is a Web browser. However, remote users still need to access network applications. SSL Network Extender is a browser plug-in that provides clientless remote access, while delivering full network connectivity for any IP-based application. SSL Network Extender adds SSL VPN functionality to the IPSec VPN capabilities of VPN-1 gateways, simplifying remote access deployment while providing maximum flexibility for any type of remote access scenario. SSL Network Extender is also available with Connectra.
