The widespread use of SSL VPNs for remote access enables more users to gain access to your network from far more places than they would if they were using a traditional IPSec VPN. Clearly, that enhances productivity; at the same time, security threats for both the end user and IT administrators increase substantially as access extends to places that IT cannot possibly control. To effectively control these risks, it is no longer enough to manage access by user identity alone.

You must also focus on the safety of the user's environment. Aventail End Point Control enables your business to deliver secure anywhere access to network resources from the most diverse and insecure places, from airport kiosks, employee-owned PCs, wireless hotspots, and unmanaged PDAs without sacrificing the integrity of the corporate network.

The white paper, "End Point Control: Secure Anywhere Access with Reduced Risk and Increased IT ", summarizes the capabilities of Aventail End Point Control and explains the range of features that increase IT control and data protection by giving users access that's finely tuned to the risks of their environment.
