This unique Web-based system works with your company’s existing firewalls and
Internet infrastructures. Because the GoToMyPC software on the host PC initiates
an outgoing connection, the technology works with your existing firewall and
does not require special configuration. There is no need to change or open ports,
configure IP addresses or deploy any hardware or software — GoToMyPC uses
your existing corporate Internet connection. For more information, see “GoToMyPC
Security at a Glance” on page two.

benefits
Advanced Encryption
All traffic is protected with 128-bit Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) encryption, using a secure
challenge-response password-authentication protocol.
It provides the most secure Internet connection
available in a remote-access product.
Mandatory User Authentication
Use requires dual passwords and end-to-end user
authentication. The access code resides on the
user’s host PC and is never transmitted or stored on
GoToMyPC servers.
Users get extra layers of user authentication and
access control.
Superior Infrastructure Security
All servers have been penetration tested and are
hosted in a highly secured data center, and system
logs are continuously audited for unusual activity.
GoToMyPC has achieved Site Secure Certification
from Cybertrust Corporation.
Enjoy superior security as verified by an industryrecognized security-assurance program that
secures all aspects of information security,
ranging from network and systems analysis and
assessment to physical and policy evaluation.
Maintains Firewall Integrity
Both controlled and controlling computers receive all
communications through an outgoing TCP
connection using protocols and ports that can transparently transit almost all firewalls.
No firewall changes are required, and you do not
have to bypass or compromise your corporate or
branch office firewall or the firewall at the computer where you are working.
Carefully Controlled Network Access
GoToMyPC leverages the OS-level access controls
already in place on your corporate LAN.
Remote users do not have tunneled access to the
corporate network — only to a single
desktop PC and its level of network access.
Users leave sensitive and confidential data on a secure
office PC and use their home PC, laptop or public computer simply as a conduit to view stored data.
This eliminates the need to store or transport work
on insecure laptops, thumb drives or CDs, which
could be lost, stolen or otherwise compromised.
