Juniper Network and RSA Security Integration for Seamless Remote Access
A large healthcare company was struggling to maintain the high-level of security they mandated in their existing remote access solution. The company had previously standardized on RSA’s Identity and Access Management solution and required tight integration between it and their remote access solution. Plurilock Critical Services was engaged in the project from initial design, proof of concept, hardware procurement, implementation, and authorized training.
THE Challenge
Because of the sensitive nature of healthcare data, the company requires a highly secure identity management solution, which must interoperate with their remote access solution. The existing remote access solution was unable to communicate with the identity management solution in the fashion desired by the company without significant customization. The company then required a remote access solution that was easy to use, while providing flexible, two-factor authentication and maintaining single sign-on (SSO). Custom cookie values associated with each users’ session needed to be passed from the authentication solution into the internal web portal to provide seamless integration.

By choosing Plurilock, the company realized the following benefits:
The ability to utilize Plurilock’s senior engineers to provide a proof of concept for which the company lacked the expertise
Plurilock managed the entire project from initial design to completion and support, providing the company with one point of contact for the duration of the project
Realization of goals, achieving a reliable, flexible solution which used a standards-based approach to integrate with remote access and identity management solutions without any customizations
