Just to recap, we discussed the use of a remote-access VPN in an environment where an employee may be working from home or in the field and require access to the corporate network. Further, we took a look at the necessary steps to configure both a clientless SSL VPN and a client-based VPN on the Cisco ASA. Finally, we verified that the VPN connections were working properly. Now we are able to do the same in an organization or even in our own lab environment. We also saw how to distribute the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client securely using the VPN portal.
In the next chapter, we will discuss the need for an Intrusion Detection System (IDS), an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), and how to configure the Cisco IOS router as an IPS.
