Fortinet - FortiGuard Labs Global Threat Research Team Ensure Your Systems Are Protected Against The Latest Threats
Remote access VPNs, also called client-to-gateway or dialup VPNs, connect a single host with the security gateway.
Most remote access VPNs use the IPsec protocol suite discussed in the site-to-site VPN section or the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols. There are advantages and disadvantages to each technology and the best solution for remote access is often a combination of the two, allowing the best-suited technology to be used as needed.
IPsec-based VPN gateways, first discussed in the site-to-site VPN category, are capable of providing a remote user with the same access privileges as a local user. The disadvantage of this type of remote access VPN is that it requires a client on the remote user's system.
Client-based systems lead to added complexity, but may be the best option in some situations to provide the most robust remote user experience.
Fortigate systems include support for both major remote access VPN types in a single device, allowing them to support multiple remote access clients using multiple remote access technologies simultaneously on a single appliance. The systems also incorporate other critical security services that secure traffic entering the private network including: Firewall, Antivirus, and Intrusion Prevention. Providing gateway services and security inspection services in a single platform ensures that the remote access vector is secured and threats are not allowed to pass onto the private network, whether traffic is originating at a branch location or a single remote user.
Fortinet VPN solutions allow distributed organizations of all sizes to be connected and secured. The Fortinet product family offers a fully integrated and complete end-to-end solution for connecting networks and users together, while also detecting and eliminating a wide spectrum of threats and malicious activity.
Fortinet meets the connectivity needs of any-sized organization while offering unmatched functionality and price-performance.
