-Traveled to Japan, China, and NJ USA to ensure successful installation of F5 LTM and Juniper/Pulse MAG SM360 devices and operation of critical application and services such as VPN.

-The new RAS setup enabled the following end-to-end security features:

a.Endpoint devices can be checked prior to and during a remote access session to verify an acceptable device security posture requiring installed/running endpoint security applications (antivirus, personal firewall, etc.), as well as check for IT-required Operating System versions, patch level, browser type, and many other requirements.

b. Noncompliant endpoints can be quarantined, denied access, or granted access, depending on administrator defined policies.

c. System automatically remediates noncompliant endpoints by updating software applications that do not comply to corporate security policies.
