Any network is only as secure as its weakest node. This paper illustrates the security threats posed by remote workers that use VPN tunnels to access corporate networks and the business risk of leaving these "remote endpoints" inadequately protected. It explores the counter-measures required to combat these threats and considers the characteristics of cost-effective remote endpoint security. Finally, this paper examines the unique benefits offered by PestPatrol, and shows how this product can easily be deployed in tandem with the Check Point VPN-1 SecureClient to defend remote endpoints from remote access trojans, hacker tools, spyware, and other harmful pests.
