JSCM Group now recommends that mobile VPNs be changed to utilize the IKEv2 option for added security. However, the security benefits of these have been replaced with the IKEv2 VPN. In the past the recommendation was to utilize either IPSec or SSL.
Now WatchGuard provides the following options for mobile VPN configurations: The release of Fireware 12.0 removed the PPTP VPN, due to security issues. Over the last several firmware revisions WatchGuard has been working to provide updated security options for their mobile VPNs. Since we are allowing someone outside of our network to connect into local resources, we need to make sure we are doing everything we can to secure that connection.
However, with efficiency we can lose security if we are not careful. With more and more employees working from home or on the road, we need a way to provide this access efficiently. This is especially useful in businesses like retail stores and mall kiosks that want to offer their customers a specific application.One of the important functions of a firewall is to allow easy remote access. Integrated Personal Firewall - Their Friendly Net Detection feature recognizes whether a network is secure or not and then applies the appropriate firewall settings.For example, connect with Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, then switch to an Ethernet connection at work, then switch to your Wi-Fi at home. Seamless Roaming - Users can change from one Internet communication medium (LAN/WLAN/3G/4G) to another without dropping the VPN connection.For easy access, Windows and VPN login credentials can be configured to be the same. Windows Pre-Logon - Users can log on to a Windows domain even if they are not in the network.Even when the user’s device goes to sleep, it will reconnect to the VPN once it’s back on. Always On - VPN client will reconnect automatically should a connection drop.Integration with other leading MFA vendors is also supported. Two-Factor Authentication - Fully compatible with WatchGuard AuthPoint, the IPSec VPN client adds another layer of security by requiring two types of credentials without the need for specialized hardware.**Requires OpenVPN client for SSL Features & Benefits
