Have a problem with SSL?

If you are specifying a system for mobile workers and have got to the 'what do we do about mobile security' part of your to do list you may by now be aware that SSL VPN vendors are once again working frantically to plug yet another inherent flaw in the IETF SSL VPN standards.

The IDG News Service describes the possible effects of an SSL VPN flaw thus: "..lets attackers intercept secure SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) communications between computers using what's known as a man-in-the-middle attack"
You can read the whole story here.

SSL's weaknesses and propensity to suffer from Man-in-the-Middle and other attacks, especially in wireless environments, has long been known and so the designers and developers at NetMotion Wireless constructed the Mobility XE architecture to mitigate against them. You can read more in the NetMotion Wireless White Paper: "Security for Wireless Networks"
