Improving the Way People Learn with Extended Learning

Since the Covid Pandemic the world of education has quickly evolved into new ways of teaching and learning. All education has been challenged in terms of spaces, technology, tools, methods, human resources and skills.

Even in difficult circumstances many educators have shown examples that are improving education.

The XL Project funded by the European Commission intends to pick out the best ideas pointing at positive uses of technology to improve the way people learn.

Remote Access Using Clientless VPN or AnyConnect Client

BRKSEC-2697 - Remote Access using Clientless VPN (2014 Milan)
Presentation by Hakan Nohre - CSE, Cisco

This session will provide Information and Details about Clientless VPN on the Cisco ASA Firewall. For certain use cases like Contractor Access or BYOD, customers want to have a more differentiated access than the well known Full Tunnel (AnyConnect). We will show and explain how an ASA can be used to provide Secure Remote Access with no need to install a VPN Client. As simple browser based access might not satisfy everybody's needs, we will go through advanced configurations like VDI access for iPAD as well. The target audience are security administrators that are familiar with ASA Firewalls and want to learn more about the Cisco Clientless VPN Solutions.

BRKSEC-3033 - Advanced AnyConnect Deployment and Troubleshooting with ASA (2015 Milan)
Presentation by Hakan Nohre - CSE, Cisco

Remote access VPN can provide a flexible, transparent and yet secure working environment for mobile workers. This advanced session will explain different deployment options using Cisco AnyConnect Client with ASA. We will cover different options for strong authentication, One-time-password and client certificates and how these authentication options can be used together with posture assessment and enterprise directories for granular authorization. We will also cover AnyConnect customization and how to create an office like user experience by allowing domain logon and mapping of disk drives, whilst connected over the internet. Coverage of IPv6 when using AnyConnect is also included in this session. The expected audience are network or security engineers with previous experience of AnyConnect and ASA 5500, and with a good understanding of enterprise IT infrastructure, PKI and Active Directory. The attendees will benefit from following the session: BRKSEC-2697 "Remote Access using Clientless VPN"
