"The ability to provide secure remote access is even more essential as the traditional network perimeter begins to fade with a growing number of remote users and an expanding variety of mobile access devices. Network administrators are looking for a fast and easy way to provide a secure tunnel to corporate resources and applications. VPNs are still the solution of choice but are being threatened by more comprehensive, all-in-one security platforms." - Andrew J. Hanson, associate research analyst, Network Security and Endpoint Security
