VPN's: IPSec vs. SSL

Virtual Private Networks (VPN's) have been around for awhile. A VPN allows a remote user to connect to a corporate network in a secure manner using the public Internet. Communications between the remote user and the company network are encrypted and sent through a "tunnel". Traditionally, VPN's have relied on IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) technology, but VPN's using SSL (secure sockets layer) connections are gaining ground. To learn more about the pros and cons of these two technologies and determine which might be right for you, read this article: VPN's: IPSec vs. SSL.
