Re: Remote Access for Home Computers

A SSL VPN device such as the F5 FirePass can provide end point scanning to ensure that the user has virus scan software 
installed, a current virus database and that a personal firewall is installed  /enabled etc.  We have implemented 
several for clients and the support issues are less than they were for previous remote access/VPN solutions.  Used with 
other security measures like one time only password solutions (Vasco etc) and endpoint rules and group rules they are a 
great solution that enable you to taylor the access a user has to the network resources.  You can reduce management by 
enabling the device to populate master and resource groups based on LDAP queries to a database like Active Directory or 
eDirectory.
