VPN-1 SecureClient - Check Point's Solution for Secure Intranet Extension Remote users are at risk when using broadband connections to access organizational resources. The VPN-1 SecureClient v4.1 and VPN-1 SecureClient NG products from Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. provide secure VPN access to these resources while protecting the remote machine with a personal firewall. These products can only be used when integrated with existing Firewall-1 v4.1 and Firewall-1 NG Check Point software, and are managed and maintained through the Firewall-1 management console. SecureClient is widely compatible and has a small footprint, making it appealing to organizations that use Check Point products and are considering such functionality.

Creating a Secure VPN with Cisco Concentrator and ACE Radius/SecurID Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology has done wonders for the productivity of the common corporation. Using a VPN, companies can expand the reach of their corporate network beyond their expensive leased lines by using the assets provided by the Internet. This "reaching out" of corporate America has allowed for employees to securely access network resources while at home, allowed for secure partner communication, and decreased the costs necessary to do business. Instead of paying for expensive leased lines or incurring a productivity slowdown via usage of floppy transfer, employees and partners can now work remotely as if they were physically connected to the corporate network. Home users have begun to upgrade their home Internet connections to ISDN, DSL, and Cable allowing for greater speeds than ever before. These greater speeds allow for little speed penalty when telecommuting. Broadband connectivity seems like a perfect match to the corporate VPN world.

Implementing "Dual-Sided" VPN's In my current position, I am required to provide secure communications to all sites where our project servers are located. Since much of our site-to-site communications are provided by public networks, a solution had to be found that could use a public network for data communications and that could satisfy the security requirements for data transmission that were given. Several options were evaluated.

Business Partner VPN Needed Now This document is intended to take a look at Business Partner VPN and focus on challenges now being dealt with in the face of requirements for a VPN that promises end to end security between two separate business entities and even between the users within those entities. With Web Services technologies evolving quickly the need for end to end security with Business partners is excelerating. While emphasis will be on what is yet needed, appreciation for and discussion of, what is, and why, will be offered.

Remote Access VPN - Security Concerns and Policy Enforcement This paper serves to review the business reasons for the implementation of remote access VPN, to address security policy considerations, and subsequent enforcement of security policy through the use of a Cisco Concentrator and Zone Labs' Integrity Server. Realizing there are numerous manufacturers marketing diverse methods of VPN implementation, focus will be solely upon the Cisco 3000 Series Concentrator for remote user access; and Zone Labs' Integrity Server for enforcement of policy, thus allowing for specific details to be addressed - rather than paint a broad, general picture.

When Security Counts: Securing a Test Server with a VPN Connection A virtual private network (VPN) is a logical link that connects shared or public networks. In this case study, a router-to-router VPN connection securely connects classroom computers to an isolated and secure internal network segment hosting an assessment server. This paper describes the design choices of a deployment for a router-to-router VPN connection using the Windows 2000 platform VPN server.

Multiprotocol Label Switching Virtual Private Networks and the enterprise - Do they fit in the security model? Multiprotocol label switching virtual private networks have gained press as a new service provider method to provide a secure path in the public Internet space. The question arises if this technology is the latest marketing ploy of the service providers or if this is a valid option for the enterprise within the security framework? If this is a valid option for the enterprise security framework is it a WAN technology only or does it have a place within the MAN or LAN environments? The first part in looking at the issue it to first understand if multiprotocol label switching virtual private network technology is a virtual private network and to determine how it works. A determination of what security is provided or not provided; also looking at what flaws it may have as a virtual private network. If the technology is found to be acceptable as a virtual private network, a look at how different enterprise customers can take advantage of this technology.

Network Based VPNs This paper focuses on this particular type of VPN. First, it provides a short history on the evolution of VPNs, then it explains what is meant by Network based VPNs. To best present this concept, I will use a standard company network for which a CPE and a Network Based Solution is proposed and I will compare the 2 alternatives. Such an approach will allow identifying the differences in design and addressing some fundamental pre-requisites for the implementation of Network Based VPNs. I will review some important security issues to address when an ISP deploys such IP Service Switches. To finish up, we will be giving a list of the major PROs and CONs of Network Based VPNs.

MPLS - VPN Services and Security This paper will focus on the issues related to providing VPN services in a MPLS environment. The paper will discuss traditional routing and ATM in a service provider network. It will discuss the MPLS architecture and security issues and its benefits in providing a scalable connection oriented networking solution. This will provide the foundation for the discussion on providing scalable VPN services in a MPLS environment.

VPN Project: Remote Access to a Novell Network Our IT department has often been praised for accomplishing much with limited resources. We often put unique, specialized solutions in place while keeping costs as low as possible. Providing top service to our internal clients has always been our primary objective, and the majority of our resources and time would be allocated to ensure our clientele's visible requirements were met. As a result, some remote services had been put in place without adequate security measures. This problem was identified and we began to focus on tightening the security of our externally accessible IT services and resources. As a senior network administrator, I became project leader and was responsible for directing our security initiative to replace our existing remote access facilities with encrypted Virtual Private Networking (VPN) technology.
