Do you know that Salford Software are currently working with several academic clients in conjuction with our partners Vasco  to deliver secure single sign on incorporating strong authenication technology (see here). 

Why? Well.... Government guidelines now state that all educational institutions should offer this level of protection when dealing with sensitive student/staff data.
  
What is IAG - Intelligent Application Gateway?  IAG is a remote access gateway (the technology is fully Microsoft) that boosts productivity by giving mobile and remote workers, partners, and customers/students easy, flexible, and secure access to virtually any application from a broad range of devices and locations. Using a combination of SSL VPN (secure socket layer virtual private network), a Web application firewall, and endpoint security management, IAG provides employees, partners, vendors, and customers with secure and easy access from a broad range of devices and locations including kiosks, PCs, and mobile devices.
IAG also enables IT administrators to enforce compliance with application and information usage guidelines through a customised remote access policy based on device, user, application, or other business criteria.

Key benefits:

• A unique combination of SSL VPN-based access, integrated application protection, and endpoint security management.
• A consolidated and comprehensive gateway to provide access to virtually any application from virtually any location.
• A powerful, Web-application firewall that helps keep malicious traffic out, and sensitive information in.
• Reduced complexity of managing secure access and protecting business assets with a comprehensive, easy to use platform.
• Interoperability with core Microsoft application infrastructure, third-party enterprise systems, and custom in-house tools.
