Cadolzburg, 12 September 2011 - The RSA Conference Europe 2011 takes place from 11 to 13 October in London and is one of the world’s most renowned IT Security events. HOB is once again a Global Gold Sponsor at the RSA Conference Europe 2011.
Especially in the area of IT security, change comes at a remarkable pace. What was up-to-date yesterday can often be obsolete today. In light of this fact, IT experts and security managers have to adjust to new dangers and threats almost every day. The RSA Conference Europe provides first-hand information on the most current security trends and technologies, best practices and the outlook for tomorrow. Top subjects, such as cybercrime, data security and compliance are discussed in depth. In more than 70 presentations for 11 subject areas, for example, application and network security or cloud computing, one can gain practical information on the latest news and solutions.
HOB has been participating regularly in the RSA Conferences since 2003, both in the USA and Europe. For HOB, the specialist in the area of secure business connectivity, the RSA Conference offers a unique opportunity learn of the latest developments in secure remote access and IT security, as well as to discuss these topics with diverse experts. Also, HOB, as a secure remote access provider, can inform the exhibit’s visitors of the valuable functions and advantages of the HOB solutions.
As one of only two “Gold Sponsors,” HOB, in the center of the conference activities, presents its latest product, “HOBLink VPN Anywhere Client,” a universal VPN client for IPsec connections. This client enables secure remote access to enterprise data and applications, from anywhere and at any time, regardless of the make or manufacturer of the VPN gateway. The big difference to other VPN clients: HOBLink VPN Anywhere Client requires no installation on the client side, nor does the client need administrator rights, saving both time and costs. HOB is also presenting its current secure remote access software suite HOB RD VPN. HOB RD VPN was recently distinguished with the Golden Bridge Award 2011 in New York. Additionally, the security components of this software are certified by the German Federal Office for Security in Information Technology (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik, BSI).
HOB RD VPN provides companies and their employees with a secure remote connection to enterprise-internal applications and data, over a LAN or the Internet. This allows them to structure flexible and mobile working conditions, because – in accordance with the idea of cloud computing – access is available at any time and from anywhere, regardless of where the employees or the corporate headquarters are located. The major difference to cloud computing: The enterprise retains complete control of its data, these are neither stored nor can they be seen by any third-party. HOB RD VPN, which is SSL-based, has the additional advantage that the user need not install any software on his or her computer, as the installation is made once, centrally on the corporate server. Once this is done, access can be made from any client machine over an Internet browser. Hereby, it is unimportant which OS the client is running, whether Windows or any other. This highly secure access to enterprise applications and data via HOB RD VPN is achieved through the use of encrypted connections as well as further security and authentication processes, for example, one-time passwords or tokens. HOB RD VPN greatly simplifies administration, has low maintenance costs and significantly reduces the total cost of IT investment, as it is a pure software-based solution is that requires no special hardware.
At the HOB Booth (G2), you can learn all about the secure connectivity software and the advantages of HOB RD VPN in a live demonstration. Also, Mr. Aidan Gogarty, HOB’s Technology Evangelist, will hold a presentation on 13 October at 10:00 am with the title “Keep Your Data Out of the Cloud.” In this presentation, Mr. Gogarty will explain how important highly secure access to business critical data is. Mr. Gogarty states: “Today many enterprises are caught between the need for data security and protection on the one side and the availability of flexible and mobile remote access to enterprise-internal applications and data on the other side. Whereas with cloud computing there is justified concern regarding data security, HOB RD VPN can meet both requirements. In any event, existing security plans must be critically examined, in order to keep up with all the new challenges in the areas of data security and availability.”
