Device Security Solution Guide
An often forgotten fact is that a single insecure device can make a whole VPN system insecure. The reason is that the end-point devices such as user workstations are potential targets for hackers to be used as “gateways” for traffic from the Internet to internal corporate networks. It is essential to secure the end devices and try to make it impossible for intruders to use these systems as gateways. So, how can end-point devices be secured then?

Secure Voice over IP
Since VoIP traffic is sent over normal networks such as the Internet, it faces the same security problems as all other traffic. Encryption and secure authentication must be an integral part of the system. The AppGate solution supports secure connections regardless of device, transmission type (wired or wireless) or application. It makes it possible to access all important business information whenever it is needed, through one security system. Consequently the system
administrator will have only one system to administer with increased security and lower cost as a result. The AppGate system can give remote users access to the internal VoIP server. It protects the call while being transmitted over the Internet against eavesdropping and
modification.

AppGate and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX)
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) was enacted by the U.S. Congress on July 30, 2002. SOX is designed to ensure proper financial reporting and disclosure in an effort to rebuild public trust in corporate business reporting. One of the key pieces of SOX is Section 404, which specifically covers internal control activities over the creation of financial reports. An organisation needs to have the proper policies for access control but it also needs ways to implement them in an easy
and controllable way without the need for user decision. The AppGate Security Server is a complete security solution offering full functionality in one system with one management interface. By using just one security system for many different functions, AppGate makes sure all the components in the system work together and makes it much easier to administer.

I BITS (Basnivå for informationssäkerhet), redovisar Krisberedskaps- myndigheten ett antal rekommenderade administrativa säkerhetsåtgarder som minst bör vidtas for att uppnå en acceptabel säkerhetsnivå för informations- hanteringen i en organisation. Denna säkerhetsnivå betecknas basnivå. I första hand riktas dessa rekommendationer mot den informationshantering inom samhällsviktig verksamhet som måste kunna fungera även under olika grader av störningar i samhället. Ambitionen är att basnivån ska vara väl balanserad och ge en generellt acceptabel säkerhetsnivå. Att fastställa huruvida basnivån är tillräcklig for den enskilda organisationen kan dock endast avgoras genom en riskanalys.

AppGate Client Check feature
For a system administrator a connecting PC is always a potential threat to the security of the network. It is therefore important to secure the integrity of the PC. The AppGate server asks the PC to run a certain command, which is first downloaded from the AppGate server, to scan the system. Usually this function is used to check antivirus versions or in other ways check that the PC is a corporate PC. Of course the results of these scans can be a part of the access rule set.

Deperimeterisation of networks
In a world when every system, each server and all clients, are able to protect themselves and only admit authorised users to access data, then the role of the firewall is diminished. In this world, the networks are only used to transport data and the boundary between the internal network and the Internet will become much simpler.

Secure Mobility Solution Guide
The mobile world opens up many opportunities but it is generally insecure. To be able to take advantage of the new technologies, there is a need for a security system that encrypts the traffic all the way from the mobile device to its final destination, not just when data is transmitted in the air. The AppGate solution supports secure connections regardless of device, transmission type or application. It is possible to access important business information whenever it is needed through one security system and consequently the system administrator has only one system to administer with increased security and lower costs as a result.

Secure Consolidation
By moving security closer to the applications servers, it is possible to offer controlled access from any device over any network infrastructure in a totally secure way. If clients encrypt all network traffic, we will have separation of traffic virtually identical to giving everyone their own network connection. Traffic cannot be read or modified by anyone else on the network. Adding an AppGate server in front of the application servers will take care of user authentication, access authorization and the application servers will be protected by AppGate’s unique and prize winning security solution.

Security with a positive ROI
From a functional perspective, 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 your own system based on different products. Often the costs to support already existing products are higher than the investment in an AppGate solution.
