RE: 2 factor authentication through vpn ?

RSA integration is built into Checkpoint so you don't have to do much to
integrate the two.  I am not fond of checkpoint's VPN though.  I do not
like the implementation at all.  I would get a dedicated VPN
accelerator.  RSA is a good product.  There are others that do the same
thing.  Safeword does the same things but integrates with Active
directory.  So it depends on where you want to set up your two factor
authentication.  There are several similar products that do similar
things so take a look around.  But most two factor authentication
devices work much the same way.

Subject: 2 factor authentication through vpn ?


I am putting together a proposal for a client whereby they wish to have
a 
global means of securely accessing their internal systems, mail etc.

At present they employ laptops and broadband access with static ips from

home, but they now wish to evolve into using a secure means of accessing

internal systems whilst on the move i.e. globally.

I know RSA have a product called secureID that does 2 factor
authentication 
that can do this but firstly need to know of any experiences with using
this 
and checkpoint secureremote vpn and also are there any other means of
doing 
this securely, i.e. certificates etc.
