To protect corporate resources accessed over a VPN, it is important to be able to identify the users and devices involved in any VPN connections. Positive identification of users requires that the users (and devices) maintain a digital identity. As your VPN requirements continue to grow and involve more users, more devices and increased complexity, Entrust can help you manage the security of these users and devices in a way that may allow you to save money and reduce risk of unauthorized access and misuse.

Together, Nortel and Entrust enable customers to:

  • Save costs by using public networks, rather than private leased lines.
  • Have higher confidence in online security.
  • Move higher value business applications to the Internet.
