What savings will I get from using Anywhere+?
Depending on how your network is set up, you should see substantial bandwidth savings from not having to backhaul traffic via a VPN. This is on top of the time saved through cleaning up remote user’s laptops and managing endpoint clients.
How is it priced?
Anywhere+ is available for existing ScanSafe users as well as businesses looking to add roaming security capabilities to their existing Web security solution. It is an add-on service. Pricing depends on service bundle and volume but starts at $1.00/£1.00 per user per month. Customers pay for our regular office security services (Web malware scanning, Web filtering) PLUS an additional monthly per user fee for the number of outside users with the additional Anywhere+ security service.
I am currently happy with my existing security solution for my office workers but would like to add Anywhere+ just for my roaming users. Is that possible?
Yes, Anywhere+ can be bought separately. It is also very easy to add the remaining office workers at a later date.
How can I evaluate Anywhere+?
Click on the “free evaluation” link, fill out your details and a member of Anywhere+ team will contact you shortly after to set up a free 30 day evaluation. There is no obligation to buy and no cost.
If I protect my users with Anywhere+ does it mean I can remove my desktop AV?
No. ScanSafe’s services protect unencrypted Web traffic only. Any other method of entry onto a laptop, for example by email, USB stick or network share are not protected, hence users still need local malware detection.
Does my VPN have to be in split or full tunnel mode?
Anywhere+ requires you deploy your VPN in split tunnel mode. All external Web traffic (both HTTP and HTTPS) should be allowed to go directly to the internet (where Anywhere+ will redirect it to the ScanSafe scanning infrastructure and apply the correct policies).
What VPNs does Anywhere+ work with?
Anywhere+ works with all major VPNs including:
- Aventail
- Cisco
- Checkpoint
- Juniper
- Microsoft
- Nortel
- Watchguard
How is Anywhere+ deployed to my end-users?
Anywhere+ is a single .MSI (Microsoft Standard Installer) file. It supports a silent installation and is supported by just about every software distribution mechanism available.
Can my users disable Anywhere+?
Anywhere+ is tamper-resistant. Without knowing the password for the service the user cannot disable the service.
