For example, allowing browser-based access means that users may access the network from PCs not managed by the organization, such as home or airport kiosk PCs. These remote endpoints may have little or no security software or, worse, may have spyware or malware installed. Connectivity from unsecured endpoints exposes an organization to attacks and malicious activity through an SSL VPN gateway. Without effective management of the security of remote endpoints and protecting against attacks on SSL VPNs, the inherent simplicity of SSL VPN exposes an organization to additional threats.

Web Security Gateway provides SSL VPN access and integrated endpoint and application security in a single, unified solution. By combining both connectivity and security in one solution, organizations can effectively deploy SSL VPNs safely and securely to a diverse set of users from the industry's most reliable provider of intelligent security solutions.
