Check Point and RSA

The integrated solution between Check Point's industry leading SSL VPN products and the RSA Secure ID authentication product enables customers to ensure that only employees with the proper credentials can access the corporate LAN remotely and hence protect their assets and resources.

Benefits

• Delivers clientless SSL VPN access to enterprise resources
• Stops identity, password, and data theft on remote endpoints
• Ensures remote access users are who they say they are
• Protects internal resources from attacks from insecure endpoints
• Delivers strong, two-factor authentication scalability
• Integrates with existing network and security infrastructure

RSA Secure ID
RSA SecurID two-factor authentication is one of the leading solutions in its class. RSA SecurID hardware and software tokens generate a unique, one-time access code that quickly expires. Unless the user can provide his or her PIN and access code at the moment of login -proving possession of the appropriate provisioned token-access is denied. As an alternative, RSA Keon digital certificates employ private and public keys and digital signing capabilities that also provide a high level of assurance.

In addition to providing enhanced security, RSA Security solutions offer attractive economies of scale. Once a user's identity is established, it can be applied across multiple access technologies beyond the VPN. By supplanting multiple identities and passwords with a single trusted identity for secure access, you can reduce related costs for user administration and password management
