The Juniper Networks Secure Access SSL virtual private network (VPN) solution is expected to help reduce ongoing costs and eliminate significant IT inefficiencies. It will also serve as a cornerstone for the ministry’s emergency contingency planning, helping to ensure business continuity in the event of emergencies such as a pandemic health crisis or extreme weather conditions.
As the ministry’s user population became more geographically distributed, it faced escalating demands from business partners, maintenance suppliers and offsite employees for seamless remote access to data and applications on its corporate network. The ministry’s existing remote access solution had become a significant management and cost burden.
Juniper Networks’ SSL VPN solution enables the ministry to provide authorized third parties and offsite employees with anywhere, anytime access to sensitive network resources from any web-enabled device. The regulator now has the ability to provide a diverse user population with highly granular access to resources without sacrificing data integrity.
