General VPN support question.

All,

 

I enjoy all of the technical guidance that this group provides, however I
have a vpn related question that falls in the area of general management
that I am looking for some opinions on.  I'm wondering at what point a
company should assign someone to full vpn administrative duties.  That is, I
manage our VPN and RAS servers along with a myriad of other projects and day
to day network administration.  Needless to say, I'm not getting the time
that I think needs to be given to properly manage remote access.

 

We are a company of approximately 20,000 employees and 10,000 users.  I have
hundreds of vpn client accounts to manage along with 20 peer-to-peer
connections.  We are in the healthcare industry and remote access is
critical and has to remain as secure as possible.  I want to dedicate more
time to it but I'm not being given that opportunity.  I just keep getting
other tasks and projects handed to me.

 

I'm looking for opinions from others in similar situations and possible
guidelines, if they exist, that I can use to convince my administration that
this is important enough to require a full time administrator to manage
properly.  I'm wondering what other companies are doing and whether my
gripes and concerns are justified.  Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Mike
