Özet: This paper provides an overview of the differences between SSL VPNs, IPSec VPNs, and other security technologies and explains why SSL VPNs are ultimately a better choice for secure remote access.  At one time, a traditional Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) virtual private network (VPN) was the only option for secure remote access. However, because IPSec solutions were designed for site-to-site connectivity and not with a highly mobile workforce in mind, these solutions provided limited remote access and often proved both difficult and costly to maintain. In response to increasing user demands for remote access, a new kind of VPN emerged—SSL VPNs. These new VPNs, based on the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol that safeguards the world of e-commerce, quickly became the leading option for remote access.
