Providing Secure Access Requires an Integrated Solution
Challenges
Companies are increasingly dependent on Web and Internet systems
to run their businesses. As usage and dependence of Web-based
systems increases, companies are focusing on specialized protection
for Web servers and applications, and have a concentrated need
to provide secure, unified access to these systems.

Many industry analysts
believe the SSL VPN, Web Application Firewall and
Web Single Sign-on markets will consolidate into
one Web Security market. Based on analysis of market
sizing and forecasts from IDC and the Yankee Group,
the Web Security market in 2002 was approximately
$481M in revenue, and is projected to grow at a
CAGR of 52%, reaching $2.6B by 2006. |

and web protection solution include:

simplified, yet secure access for a diverse set of users |
|
|
Allowing access
for a specific application set rather than full network-level
access |
|
|
Controlling
access based on roles and permissions |
|
|
Ensuring confidentiality
of accessed information |
|
|
Securing access
for transient users such as sales personnel and service
technicians |
