RE: 2 factor authentication through vpn ?

RSA integration is built into Checkpoint so you don't have to do much to integrate the two. I am not fond of checkpoint's VPN though. I do not like the implementation at all. I would get a dedicated VPN accelerator. RSA is a good product. There are others that do the same thing. Safeword does the same things but integrates with Active directory. So it depends on where you want to set up your two factor authentication. There are several similar products that do similar things so take a look around. But most two factor authentication devices work much the same way.

Subject: 2 factor authentication through vpn ?

I am putting together a proposal for a client whereby they wish to have a
global means of securely accessing their internal systems, mail etc.

At present they employ laptops and broadband access with static ips from

home, but they now wish to evolve into using a secure means of accessing

internal systems whilst on the move i.e. globally.

I know RSA have a product called secureID that does 2 factor authentication
that can do this but firstly need to know of any experiences with using this
and checkpoint secureremote vpn and also are there any other means of doing
this securely, i.e. certificates etc.

Do you need help?
