8Whats Being Said
- Enterprises that want easier and more flexible
ways to deploy secure remote access should
consider SSL VPNs for new investments, and as
upgrades for legacy VPNs. John Girard, Gartner - SSL VPNs not only offer better security than
IPSec VPNs, they can offer substantial savings -
Dana Hendrickson, Breakaway Marketing - We expect SSL-based solutions to eventually be
the dominant security protocol for user and
application level remote access - Zeus Karavalla, Yankee Group
- SSL Based VPNs are likely to replace IPSec VPNs
for secure remote access - Tolly Group, January
2003 - We believe by 2005/06 SSL-based solutions will be
the dominant method for remote access, with 80
of users utilizing SSL. - David Thompson, Meta
Group 11/02 - SSL remote access is 45 less expensive than
IPSec solutions and 72 cheaper than dial-up (not
including toll costs) - Yankee Viewpoint - 10/02
