IPSec and SSL VPN Deployment Considerations

Overview Over the last several years, the trend to utilize the Internet and encryption technologies for remote access connectivity has grown dramatically as organizations became more geographically dispersed and workers increasingly mobile. Two solutions have emerged for remote access over the Internet - IPSec VPN and SSL VPN. Choosing which one to deploy will be defined by the unique requirements of the organization, and in many both may be deployed as network-level access over SSL overlaps with IPSec in some deployments. This paper will provide background information, relevant considerations for each technology, and deployment scenarios to help organizations pick the technology that fits their needs best.
