Virtual Private Network (VPN) Policy

  1. It is the responsibility of employees with VPN privileges to ensure that unauthorized users are not allowed access to <Company Name> internal networks.
  2. VPN use is to be controlled using either a one-time password authentication such as a token device or a public/private key system with a strong passphrase.
  3. When actively connected to the corporate network, VPNs will force all traffic to and from the PC over the VPN tunnel: all other traffic will be dropped.
  4. Dual (split) tunneling is NOT permitted; only one network connection is allowed.
  5. VPN gateways will be set up and managed by <Company Name> network operational groups.

iPhone in Business Virtual Private Networks (VPN)

VPN Setup

  • iPhone integrates with most existing VPN networks, so minimal configuration should be necessary to enable iPhone access to your network. The best way to prepare for deployment is to check if iPhone supports your company’s existing VPN protocols and authentication methods.
  • It’s a good idea to review the authentication path to your authentication server to make sure standards supported by iPhone are enabled within your implementation.
  • If you plan to use certificate-based authentication, ensure you have your public key infrastructure configured to support device- and user-based certificates with the corresponding key distribution process. For additional documentation regarding digital certificates for IPSec VPNs, visit: https://cisco.hosted.jivesoftware.com/docs/DOC-3592.
  • If you want to configure URL-specific proxy settings, place a PAC file on a web server that is accessible with the basic VPN settings and ensure that it is hosted with the application/x-ns-proxy-autoconfig MIME type.
    Check with your solution providers to confirm that your software and equipment are up to date with the latest security patches and firmware.

The iPhone ushers in an age of true mobility

The mobile phone and the internet have already transformed peoples’ social lives and made a great impact  in the workplace. Most of us can still remember the first clunky handsets became available as executive toys or car phones, not something for the masses.

But today the workplace is on the verge of becoming truly mobile, totally virtual to the concept of the “office”. In fact it is no exaggeration to suggest that the concept of the office that we and particularly our parents grew up with will be completely redrawn over the next five to 10 years as mobility becomes woven right into the fabric of working practices across enterprises of all sizes.

Indeed the impact of this impending mobility revolution will be felt most strongly in smaller organisations, the SMEs, which generally have not yet given staff remote access to communications and messaging services.
