Employees of an enterprise travelling abroad, working from home or working from any point outside their office can connect to their office network with SSL (Secure Socket Layer) based remote access solution, through an internet connection. The security policies can be set by the enterprise administrator and the same are applied automatically and seamlessly whenever a user tries to connect to his company VPN.

The SSL Office Connect can also be configured to access designated office applications extended for enterprise users such as distributors, business partners, suppliers or even customers, if required. SSL Office Connect comes with powerful features in respect of access privileges, management and security controls.
