Las Vegas, NV, Interop, Spring, 2001

Virtual private networking promises to solve a range of problems faced by enterprises today. Organizations that depend on remote access for a growing portion of their intra-business communication must address the potential vulnerability of their mission critical applications. As the percentage of mobile employees continues to increase, virtual private networks (VPNs) may be the best means of controlling both cost and the security of the enterprise.

The impact of VPNs goes beyond secure and cost-effective remote access. Currently emerging security technology and public key infrastructure will enable secure inter-business collaboration through secure extranets. As VPN technology continues to mature, organizations will increasingly utilize public Internet services for LAN-to-LAN communications, intranets and other mission-critical application service networks.

This unique seminar is designed to help the IT professional quickly learn the most critical business, technology, and deployment aspects of VPNs. Through a combination of technology presentations, case studies, and demonstrations, you’ll gain practical knowledge about VPNs. We’ll talk you through the alphabet soup of PKI, L2TP, IPsec, IKE, SSH, TLS/SSL, and more. We’ll take a look at recent technology advances and how they’ll impact VPN implementation. We’ll show you how VPNs have been implemented with real-world case studies and exclusive demonstrations conducted by our impartial team of experts.
