The avrious platforms that can be configured enabling the secure access

In the cloud, where there is no traditional corporate perimeter, this solution fills the void. Through Symantec VIP Access Manager, We can set policies that use the built-in user directory or existing identity management infrastructure to strengthen application security and compliance without compromising productivity, and also, to facilitate multi-factor authentication to our remote users. that is to say that it will allow us to authenticate users when they try to connect to the internal network when they are working remotely, and this is the advantage we like the most of this product.

    Good product that can integrate to any systems to manage authentication

    5.0
    Sep 25, 2020
    To allow the help desk to manage the rest of the organization seamlessly, Our whole company uses Symantec VIP Access Manager to implement robust 2-factor authentication for VPN and extranet connection purposes. It helps us a correct both standard 1-factor VPN security vulnerabilities and other accessibility vulnerabilities. For us, VIP Access Manager is a very easy to use platform and it facilitates us up to 5 simultaneous separate devices per user and a backup temporary security code. also it allows us to see connection reports and change credentials in minutes. With the browser based interface, there is no configuration on the back end of any software that needs to be installed before one of our technicians can work. In the cloud, where there is no traditional corporate perimeter, this solution fills the void. Through Symantec VIP Access Manager, We can set policies that use the built-in user directory or existing identity management infrastructure to strengthen application security and compliance without compromising productivity, and also, to facilitate multi-factor authentication to our remote users. that is to say that it will allow us to authenticate users when they try to connect to the internal network when they are working remotely, and this is the advantage we like the most of this product. Symantec VIP Access Manager is an excellent next-generation control tool that integrates single sign-on (SSO) with strong authentication, access control, and user management.
