The Value Of VPN

Virtual Private Networking (VPN) enables businesses to deliver secure, encrypted connectivity for traveling employees, remote offices, and telecommuters who require access to critical corporate network resources like email, network drives, and intranet resources. For secure remote access from anywhere, anytime, WatchGuard offers two full-featured dedicated SSL VPN appliances, the WatchGuard® SSL 500 and SSL 1000. For the Firebox® X e-Series line of Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliances, WatchGuard offers two VPN options:

Mobile VPN enables telecommuters and traveling employees to access the corporate network while maintaining privacy and security. Remote users remain protected with the Firebox Mobile VPN solution.

Branch Office VPN (BOVPN) enables businesses that require secure communication between geographically separated offices. These communications often contain the types of critical data exchanged inside the corporate firewall. In this scenario, a BOVPN ensures confidential connections between these offices, streamlining communication, reducing the cost of dedicated lines, and retaining security at each end.

When you purchase a WatchGuard firewall/VPN appliance, you get:

IPSec technology for superior protection and interoperability with other IPSec-compliant VPN devices.
Intuitive setup wizards for quick remote access deployment for traveling employees.
Protection for remote offices and telecommuter sites with Branch Office VPN connections that you can create between any WatchGuard Firebox appliances.

WatchGuard appliances include the following Mobile and Branch Office VPN capability:

	PPTP Client	Branch Office VPN with IPSec
	Mobile VPN with IPSec	Branch Office VPN with IPSec
Firebox® X e-Series
Firebox® X Edge

WatchGuard System Manager – Intuitive, centralized management:

WatchGuard System Manager (WSM) is the rich, intuitive user interface used to manage all security capabilities of the Firebox X Core™ and Firebox X Peak™ e-Series security appliances. When one or more Firebox X Edge appliances is used as a VPN endpoint solution on a Firebox X Core or Peak network, the Edge appliances can be centrally managed using WSM.

What is IPSec?
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) developed the Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) protocol suite to deliver security services at the network level. IPSec functionality is based on modern cryptographic technologies, providing extremely strong data authentication and privacy. IPSec makes it possible to create a secure communications tunnel over the Internet, and IPSec standards allow interoperability between VPN solutions.
