Secure mobile access to the cloud with StoneGate Virtual SSL VPN
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Secure, authenticated remote access to business applications
Helsinki, Finland - 11 March - Stonesoft, an innovative provider of integrated
network security and business continuity solutions, introduces the new StoneGate
SSL VPN Virtual Appliance, SSL VPN 1.4 and SSL-1060 for secure mobile and remote
access.
The StoneGate SSL VPN solution is ideal for organizations that need to easily
provide controlled yet flexible remote access
solution enables organizations to share information freely and yet have full
control over who accesses the information, when and from where.
Virtual SSL VPN appliance offers mobile access to the cloud
The StoneGate SSL VPN Virtual Appliance complements Stonesoft's network security
solution for virtual environments
appliance allows rapid deployment and implementation of mobile access to cloud
computing.
The more common cloud computing becomes in corporate business and virtualized
datacenters, the stronger is the need for secure access to corporate
applications in the cloud. StoneGate SSL VPN Virtual Appliance combines the need
for granular access to the corporate web and legacy applications with the secure
and authenticated profiling of users.
The StoneGate SSL VPN Virtual Appliance is based on Open Virtual Format (OVF)
standard and provides multiple features that meet the needs of virtual
environments such as strong authentication, a flexible application portal and
support for Federation ID standards such as SAML 2.0 and ADFS. The appliance is
compatible with both VMware's ESX/ESXi 3.5 and 4.0 (vSphere) versions.
Sophisticated authentication and access control
StoneGate SSL VPN 1.4 offers organizations enhanced security provided by
integrated mobile authentication methods, granular access control and a holistic
view on access rights with a single integrated access policy.
"Authentication is very important if we need to allow local, remote and mobile
users, partners, suppliers and other stakeholders to access data and
applications. Unfortunately, too often it is taken for granted. Authentication
is not just a matter of typing a username and password - instead, organizations
should carefully plan how it is integrated with existing authentication systems.
In many cases, solutions that provide access to corporate applications need to
support extended authentication systems like Federated ID or advanced Single
Sign On techniques for both web and legacy applications. These are just some of
the key strengths offered by StoneGate SSL VPN", highlights Marco Rottigni, SSL
VPN Product Manager at Stonesoft.
StoneGate SSL VPN provides easy management and administration of access control
for all network users. Administrators can easily select the parameters, or a
combination of parameters, that will grant or deny the access to applications.
This includes sophisticated assessment and trace removal techniques to ensure
that corporate security standards are enforced at all times, also for mobile and
roaming users.
StoneGate SSL VPN includes also advanced logging, auditing and reporting
features that help businesses meet industry, government and corporate regulatory
compliance out-of-the-box.
New mid-range appliance SSL-1060 and spike licensing
The new StoneGate SSL-1060 appliance comes with the latest StoneGate SSL 1.4
software version, offering new features with respect to network integration and
end point security such as the ability to configure port forwarding
configurations and Ticket Single Sign On (SSO) enhancements.
The SSL-1060 appliance is designed for companies who need to provide a user base
of 50 to 500 users with secure, authenticated remote access to business
applications while ensuring best performance at all times.
Stonesoft introduces Spike licensing to all SSL VPN appliances. Spike licenses
are temporary licenses used for increasing the number of users in emergency
situations. For example, a second wave of H1N1 swine flu might keep employees at
home or a nearby river flooding the office might prevent them from working
there. In such cases, the ability to quickly increase the number of remote users
becomes business-critical.
"Secure mobile and remote access to corporate data is not a luxury any more. In
today's increasingly fast-paced business, it has become a necessity that
determines who is going to succeed. The new StoneGate SSL VPN helps
organizations to streamline their processes and provides tools for finding new
business opportunities - without compromising security", said Klaus Majewski,
Vice President of Marketing at Stonesoft.
StoneGate SSL VPN allows employees and partners to access more applications
regardless of their location, using any web-enabled device. While this increases
productivity, the network remains secure and protected from vulnerabilities. In
addition, advanced features such as automated user account management ease the
workload of the company's IT administration.
