IPsec and SSL: Complementary VPN Technologies for Universal Remote Access

Overview Rarely is anything black or white. Life and logic are filled with shades of gray, trade-offs and compromises, advantages with constraints, and richness counterbalanced with cost. This immutable reality touches virtually every choice and issue in life. VPN connectivity is no exception. Enterprises have been quick to see the potential in IP (Internet Protocol) Virtual Private Network (VPN) services - which use Internet technology to extend private networking anywhere within the reach of managed IP networks or the Internet. But when it comes to choosing a VPN protocol, there is no 'Either-or' path. This paper will discuss the merits of deploying both IPsec and SSL VPN by highlighting their respective advantages and limitations.
