Enterprises across the world are opening up
their corporate networks to remote employees, branch offices, business
partners and customers by implementing Virtual Private Networks (VPNs),
a transparent, secure and private connection across the Internet. Expected
benefits include decreased IT costs, streamlined business processes,
increased employee communication and improved customer satisfaction.
In order to achieve
a secure, scalable and manageable VPN, network administrators require
a quick and easily deployed secure network infrastructure based on digital
certificate services. Go Secure! for Checkpoint and Go Secure! for Nortel
provide a fully managed digital service to speed the deployment of these
VPNs. The digital certificates act as electronic credentials to authenticate
remote sites, employees, business partners and customers, thereby ensuring
that only the intended recipients or network devices have access to
transmitted information.
Features and Benefits
- Ease of Use
Go Secure! for Checkpoint and Go Secure! for Nortel make it easier for
end users to secure their communications and transactions through automated
lifecycle services for certificate acquisition, use, replacement and
renewal
- Compatibility
with Leading Vendors
Many vendors have implemented certificate lifecycle management components
into their VPN gateways, firewalls, routers and desktop clients by employing
industry standard protocols. This arrangement allows them to work seamlessly
with VeriSign Managed PKI without having to incorporate and support
components which are proprietary or orientated towards a single vendor.
The fast deployment capability and secure, highly available infrastructure
of Managed PKI can be leveraged by vendors using SCEP, PKCS12, PKCS10,
PKCS7, CRS, CSR, CMC, CAPI and others
- Integration
with Multi-factor Authentication Devices
To ensure the highest level of security, many enterprises provide their
end users with authentication devices such as smart cards and USB tokens.
When used in conjunction with digital certificates, this arrangement
provides an unparalleled level of security for remote users who log
in through VPNs
- Network
Administrator Benefits
Go Secure! for Checkpoint and Go Secure! for Nortel solutions free network
administrators from the time-consuming burden of manually generating,
distributing, renewing and publishing digital certificates and certificate
revocation lists (CRLs)
These VPN remote
access clients may automatically request and receive certificate management
services from VeriSign. Automated approval of certificate requests without
local programming or database management saves the customer time and
manpower.
