| Discovering the True Cost of Authentication Many organisations rarely look closely at the total cost of ownership of their authentication solution and instead make a decision heavily driven by the up-front purchase price. This paper – and specifically the tool in Appendix 1- can be used by organisations as a yardstick in comparing the total cost of ownership of authentication as well as in considering the business and technology benefits of cloudbased authentication. |

| Is an SSL/VPN Really Secure? Although an SSL VPN provides excellent remote access capabilities, it is only as secure as the method used to prevent unauthorised access. However, VPN access is increasingly simple for unauthorized users to get hold of a user’s credentials and this means that an SSL VPN or any other security solution that relies on static passwords to authenticate users is extremely vulnerable. As high-profile breach reports make abundantly clear, preventing unauthorised access to valuable company data is no joke. |

| Authentication: The Next Factor in Cloud Based Security Services There are two recent trends that will be remembered for their impact on organisations and their IT departments – the first is 'credit crunch', the second is 'cloud computing'. This White Paper is primarily focused upon the latter, cloud computing - and how to overcome the security issues raised by users accessing applications and data from beyond the traditional network perimeter - but it is worth noting that the adoption of this IT trend is and will continue to be significantly influenced by the former. |
