Hi. It is very risky to use public networks without two factor authentication. Consider one time password tokens. 2008/7/10 Don Joly <fuwmanchew () live com>:
We have a Citrix Secure Gateway that some of our employees use for web VPN access from home. The Citrix Gateway provides users with published applications and desktops and has a valid SSL Cert. We have policies that all must sign agreeing to have some type of firewall enabled, OS patches and anti-virus software up to date. The policy also states that no user is to connect to the Citrix Gateway from a "public computer" or from a public hot spot. I've been asked if we could change this policy to allow connections from public computers and hot spots but I'm not sure how secure this would be. Would this be considered safe to allow this type of access? Why or why not? Thanks, Don _________________________________________________________________ The i'm Talkaton.
