AppGate Network Security - Hot Companies 2006 - Info Security Products Guide

Integrated Security - The AppGate Security Server is a complete security solution offering full functionality in one system with one management interface using AppGate’s unique concept of Single Point of Power. By using only one security system for many different functions makes sure all components in the system work together and makes it much easier to administer. The AppGate Security Server has many cost-saving functions.

Protection Against Blended Attacks - one AppGate system replaces many point products which makes the management of the network easier and therefore more secure. In addition, security will benefit from using one system where all modules are designed together instead of building an own system based on different products. Many times the cost to support already existing products are higher than the investment in an AppGate solution.

Pervasive VPN - Replaces existing IPSec, SSL and Mobile device VPN´s. Offers users, local and remote, secure access to protected resources. Integrates with all types of applications.

Higher Perfromance and Internal Security - The AppGate Security Server acts as a firewall and protects applications from unauthorised access. This minimises the need for internal firewalls. Built-in redundancy for high performance and reliability.

URL-Filtering - Instead of building multiple web sites, the AppGate server can give users secure access to individual web pages based on their role. A granular access control system offloads the web server and reduces the need for additional modules on this server.

Single-Sign-On - The AppGate Security Server can be integrated with many third party authentication systems. LDAP, Active Directory and Radius are supported of course, but also many other methods such as passwords, smart cards and certificates. It is possible to use multiple authentication systems at the same time. This could be a cost saver since different applications and users may have different security requirements. It is possible to get single sign-on functionality with many applications.

Wireless Networks - The security solution is the same regardless of transmission technology being used. There is no need for special solutions for wireless devices. All traffic that goes through the AppGate system is always encrypted. Even mobile phones and PDA's are supported by the same system.

AppGate Instant Messaging - The AppGate solution includes a secure IM solution. No need to setup and manage another IM server. No need for users to access external IM servers and send internal information to external systems.

Central Administration & Greater Control - The system is centrally managed with GUI tools. Several administrators with different roles are supported. Detailed log and alarm functionality gives the administrator the chance to always be in control.
