Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) allow corporations to provide employees, partners, customers, and others with policy-enforced secure access to the corporate LAN over the Internet. The primary technologies used in providing VPNs are Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Many IT managers are caught in the quandary of deciding which technology is best suited for their enterprise. As a result organizations are often hesitant to deploy or enhance their VPN at the risk of spending money in the "wrong" direction.

Rarely is one of these technologies a perfect fit for the needs of the enterprise's entire population of remote access users. In most cases, the best solution is the deployment of both technologies to meet corporate policies and the varying needs of the end user community.

Juggling both technologies can be an IT manager's nightmare - but doesn't need to be. This white paper looks at how IPSec and SSL can complement each other in the extended enterprise.
