IPSec provides transparent Network Access – BUT…

Needs preinstalled Client

Does not work well with NAT

No granular Application Access (Network Level)

Hard to Loadbalance

Is expensive to deploy

Page 14: F5 Networks Traffic Management by Design Presented by: Jürg Wiesmann Field System Engineer, Switzerland jürg.wiesmann@f5.com

14

On the other hand SSL VPN…

No preinstalled Client Software needed

Works on transport Layer – No problem with NAT

Works on port 80/443 – No problem with Firewall/Proxy

Easy to Loadbalance

Offers granular Application Access

Is Easy to deploy

The Message Management Problem

Out of 75 billion emails sent worldwide each day, over 70% is spam!

The volume of spam is doubling every 6-9 months!

Clogging networks

Cost to protect is increasing

46

Typical Corporate Pain

Employees still get spamSome are annoying, some are offensiveInfrastructure needed to deal with spam is expensive!– Firewalls– Servers– Software (O/S, anti-spam licenses, etc.)– Bandwidth– Rack space– Power

Budget doesn’t match spam growthLegitimate email delivery slowed due to spam

Page 43: F5 Networks Traffic Management by Design Presented by: Jürg Wiesmann Field System Engineer, Switzerland jürg.wiesmann@f5.com

47

Why is this happening?

Spam really works!

Click rate of 1 in 1,000,000 is successful

Spammers are smart professionals– Buy the same anti-spam technology we do

– Develop spam to bypass filters

– Persistence through trial and error

– Blasted out by massive controlled botnets

Professional spammers have– Racks of equipment

– Every major filtering software and appliance available

– Engineering staff

Page 44: F5 Networks Traffic Management by Design Presented by: Jürg Wiesmann Field System Engineer, Switzerland jürg.wiesmann@f5.com

48

It’s not just annoying…it can be dangerous.

2% of all email globally contains some sort of malware. – Phishing– Viruses – Trojans (zombies, spyware)
