Current News Updates SafeMove ® Mobile VPN solution makes it easier and safer to use hotel broadband networks and Wi-Fi hotspot networks
Thales, a leading supplier of IT security products and solutions for all critical infrastructures , today (4 October 2007) announced a new version of its SafeMove Mobile VPN solution incorporating an innovative Hotspot Login Assistant. The enhancement makes untrusted public networks easier and much safer for users who require remote access to corporate networks. The Hotspot Login Assistant feature makes Thales’s SafeMove the leading remote access solution, truly addressing all security dimensions, including critical human factor issues.
According to the latest figures from the Office of National Statistics, the number of people in the UK who work mainly from home doubled between 1997 and 2005 to 2.4 million workers. Supporting the desire for increasing levels of flexibility, the number of workers using multiple locations experienced the strongest growth, accounting for 6 per cent of all workers in 2005. These statistics reflect a worldwide trend that supports the need for advanced security solutions, such as SafeMove, to safeguard the information of companies and individuals wishing to access private data and applications from a variety of locations.
As worker mobility and flexibility increases, VPN (virtual private network) technology is commonly used to protect the confidentiality and integrity of communications between workers’ PCs and their corporate networks over the Internet. However, as the mobility of workers increases, traditional VPN solutions become inflexible and difficult to use. SafeMove solves this by combining strong VPN technology with Mobile IP technology, which automatically selects the best available network, such as Ethernet , Wi-Fi or GPRS, to provide completely seamless mobility.
Public networks, which are often based on 802.11 Wi-Fi standards and known as ?Wi-Fi hotspots?, are becoming increasingly common in hotels, airports, trains, cafes and other public places. Whilst they offer convenience to the mobile worker, facilitating access to private corporate networks via the Internet, they also create significant security risks due to the need to temporarily disable or by-pass the VPN in order to login via a portal or make an on-line payment.
SafeMove eliminates the security threat that Wi-Fi hotspots present. When SafeMove detects a local hotspot network, the user is directed to the portal and allowed to complete the necessary transaction. Immediately afterwards, and unlike other solutions available on the market, SafeMove is automatically resumed. This process is controlled by a pre-configured set of SafeMove firewall and VPN rules and, as a result, it means that the PC is never left vulnerable to attack from the local network or the Internet.
James Kilazoglou, Vice President and Managing Director of e-Security activities of Thales said: ?The innovative Hotspot Login Assistant feature enhances SafeMove, increasing the mobile security for a growing number of remote workers. By enabling anywhere, any time access that is highly secure, SafeMove empowers the mobile workforce to ultimately benefit the business through more efficient and productive working.?

Now I may not agree with a few of the opinions, personally I feel that there were many key points that were important to take note of. Not bad! I loved the one opinion. I say keep going with the data.
Hello! I just would like to give a huge thumbs up for the satisfying info you have here on this post. I will be coming back to your blog for more soon.
This is very intresting, You are a very skilled blogger. I have joined your feed and look forward to seeking more of your great post.
You raise many questions in my head. you wrote a good post, but it is also mind provoking, and I will have to think about it some more I will return soon. But you know… this is what I was looking for. Bravo!
The pagerank of my blog is 3 now!And I find that my blog has the same topis with you.Can I exchange links with you?
Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!
Just saying thanks will not just be sufficient, for the tremendous lucidity in your writing. I will right away grab your rss feed to stay abreast of any updates.
I know that is seriously boring and you are skipping on the next comment, but I just wanted to throw you a big many thanks – you cleared up some things for me!
You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. Thanks for this great resource!
I have been researching much and after reading this all I could say is “finally somebody that writes besides obsessing #with his# web site info”. great job. You only made the internet a better place after half of the bloggers only trying to get paid for every word.
The most difficult thing is to find a blog with unique and fresh content but your blog is different. Keep it like this.
Quite a beautiful website. I just finished mine and i was looking for some design ideas and your website gave me some. May i ask you whether you developed the website by youself?
Cheers
I do not generally comment on web sites but I needed to drop in and say thanks for making this, I absolutely agree with the fact and with a little luck people today can understand this argument.
I haven’t checked in here for sometime because I thought it was getting boring, women and men most recent posts are great quality well , i guess I’ll add you returning to my daily bloglist
For those that haven’t been on this field enough – I do know that the internet isn’t the most reliable resource for information. but for sure I can say the author is correct, however weird it might look

I’m still learning from you, but I’m trying to reach my goals. I definitely love reading everything that is written on your site.Keep the tips coming. I enjoyed it!
