SSL VPN Day
As business becomes increasingly virtual and remote access becomes the norm, it is critical to make sure those tapping into your network are legitimate. But how best to provide secure remote access?

Join Joel Snyder, a Network World Test Alliance partner and a senior partner at Opus One, for this intensive daylong workshop that will give the lowdown on all SSL VPNs can offer. The workshop will provide the nitty-gritty on how SSL VPNs work, what features are common to SSL VPN products, how different products affect application access and how best to evaluate them.
