Historically, organizations have used IPSec VPN solutions to provide employees with remote access to network resources; an expensive, complicated deployment for a handful of users. Originally designed for securing site-to-site communications, IPSec has shown it is unable to keep up with the growing demands of remote access required by today's enterprise organizations. As the Internet becomes the most important method for organizations to provide access to mission critical applications, and web-enabled devices become more prevalent, the limitations plagued by IPSec solutions are proving prohibitive for many enterprises. The FirePass controller from F5 allows organizations to easily provide secure and granular remote access to the internal network and the applications that run there, from any device, in any location.
