Nokia introduced a unique remote access solution that uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology running on its IP Security Platforms. Nokia said its Secure Access System allows enterprises to take advantage of the ubiquity of SSL browsers, while maintaining network integrity, even while accessing the corporate network via the public Internet or a Wi-Fi provider. Key features include:
- Client Integrity Scan, which automatically performs a customizable vulnerability check on the user’s device to establish the level of trust, and then combines that information with the user’s identity to automatically adjust access privileges.
- Advanced Access Control, enabling IT departments to roll out remote access services based on SSL, while ensuring the corporate security policy is enforced. This feature automatically adjusts user access privileges based on the user’s identity, the device being used, and the security of the device at time of access.
- Session Persistence, which allows users to resume work without losing data in the event that an SSL session times out.
Nokia’s Secure Remote Access System will be available through the company’s established global channel in Q3 2003.
