"Traditionally, companies couldn't take advantage of SSO because IPSec VPNs focus on layer 2, making it complex to integrate and get SSO access to back-end applications," said Chris Hopen, CTO of Aventail. This minimizes a user's downtime, increases productivity, and reduces the time help desk operators or security administrators spend resetting passwords. By combining Aventail's EX-1500 SSL VPN appliance with SSO technologies, organizations can provide authorized users with anywhere access to business-critical data on any device after one authentication, without compromising security.

According to Gartner, password support calls constitute upward of 25 percent of all help desk calls, but if a user has only one password rather than, say, five, Gartner estimates the number of calls is likely to fall by 80 percent to 85 percent. The Yankee Group estimates that SSL remote access is 45 percent less expensive than IPSec solutions and 72 percent cheaper than dial-up. "By joining forces, Imprivata and Aventail offer a powerful combination of economical, easy-to-implement appliances that will be delivered through our shared channel." "The combined strength of SSL VPN and Single Sign-on enables more access to more applications, while also simplifying password administration, increasing security, and reducing costs," said Satish Maripuri, senior vice-president of sales and business development for Imprivata.
