Check Point and Entrust Secure VPN

A VPN creates ways to stay connected in an increasingly mobile and disparate world. Opening access to sensitive and valuable corporate resources, a VPN makes it extremely important to be able to identify each end of the communications tunnel. 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 involving 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 hackers and misuse.

Leveraging the capabilities of Check Point and Entrust, this solution can help customers:

  • Increase security: strong certificate-based authentication of users and devices connecting to the VPN.
  • Reduce user administration: users are able to self-register and perform basic self-administration tasks securely and independently.
  • Increase scalability: using Entrust digital IDs for authentication can reduce security administration compared with using username/password.
  • Provide ease of use: transparent security functions for end users and automated security management for admin.
  • Use a single security infrastructure: Entrust's award-winning PKI provides enhanced security beyond VPN for other applications.
