The 4 in 1 Solution For Internal Security and User Mobility

  • Mobile VPN
  • Remote Access
  • Network Access Control
  • Internal secure domains
AppGate unifies all the necessary security elements such as authentication, authorization, encryption, access control, client control, monitoring and reporting.

AppGate is truly unique in the sense that it provides one single solution to many security problems. Instead of having to use multiple security systems with poor integration, AppGate does it all in one box and requires no modification of applications or application servers. All solutions are rack-mountable and occupy only one rack-unit (1U), and the model number specifies the relative performance. In environments with extreme demands, all models can also be clustered for redundancy and increased performance.



Highly integrated functionality

Integrated functionality in one easy-to-use solution helps your organization to increase the security of your network by providing functions that is usually provided separately - or not at all.

All Security Servers include AppGate award winning integrated functionality, such as:
  • Strong encryption of network traffic with support for multiple simultaneous user authentication methods
  • Compatible with most third party authentication methods
  • Policy Management. WHEN, HOW, WHAT and WHICH RULES should apply to anyone that wants to access the network.
  • Wide client platform support, from Windows and Unix/Linux systems to telephones and PDAs with choice of different client types to suit different types of users.
  • Automatic client updates from the Security Server
  • Network Access Control enables the security system to check the client’s configuration before granting access to selected services
  • Secure Print. Possibility for remote applications to securely print to locally attached printers.
  • Roaming functionality in client offers automatic reconnect to the server if the network link goes down. It can be done without any user interaction with the system and can even handle change of IP addresses. Roaming is transparent to running applications.
  • Secure Instant Messaging for authorized users with single-sign-on functionality.
  • Distributed Personal Firewall for Windows clients with central administration through the AppGate Policy Manager.
  • Easy to use portal-like user interface. The system requires virtually no user training.
  • Customization ToolKit lets administrators customize installation packages as well as the client download web pages, and the appearance of the clients themselves, in order to simplify usage for both the administrator and the end-user.

More benefits

The AppGate Security Server can act as the core of the security solution. It controls user access to protected resources, and its powerful and flexible authorization database contains rules for what applications and services should be available to each user.

Powerful authorization The powerful authorization system can, for instance, state that local users on the corporate LAN may access a service such as a network disk during office hours after providing password authentication, but remote users need to use a smart card for authentication and must have a personal firewall installed for the same service to be available. It is possible to state for each service exactly under what circumstances it should be available.

Remote administration of the system is possible using GUI tools with different administrator roles. Administrators can quickly add or delete users as needed, individually or in groups of users based on their roles, or create automated or scripted updates when needed.

Logs. All user and administrator activities are logged by the system. The logs can be very detailed if necessary, down to every byte being sent and received by an application server. Alarms can be generated and be sent to external systems for immediate action through SNMP, Syslog, email, pagers, etc.

Built-in firewall functionality. The server has built-in firewall functionality for complete protection of itself and the application servers behind it.

Clustering for scalability and redundancy. The AppGate Security Server supports server clustering for scalability and redundancy, and the system scales almost linearly: one additional server gives about twice the performance, etc. Clustering makes the system ideally suited to not only give remote users access to internal resources, but also for internal users on the corporate intranet.

Easy to implement and maintain
The system is easy to implement and maintain. Application servers need not be modified, and traffic can be compressed to increase performance on slower links and reduce communication costs for devices where users are charged for the amount of data being transferred.

Client Check and Personal Firewall

The AppGate Security Server can send customized commands to be executed on the client computer. This client check feature makes it possible to examine and control how a client is configured before granting access to all services. The AppGate Personal Firewall is an add-on product for Windows workstations. It has no GUI for end-users and is centrally administered through an AppGate Policy server. The AppGate Security Server can also demand that a specific rule-set is active before certain services become available to the user. For more information about the personal firewall, please see Distributed Personal Firewall.

Easy for administrators

Authorized administrators can quickly add or delete users as needed, individually in groups of users (roles) that share the same access permissions, or in massive updates to accommodate mergers and other organizational shifts. All user and administrator activity is logged and reported.
