AppGates new Security Server makes securing internal networks easier

Printer-friendly versionPDF version

AppGate Network Security introduces a new range of Security Servers with the ability to connect up to twelve different networks, making it easy to segment the internal network.

With one security server, up to twelve internal security domains or segments can be created, and all traffic from users to application servers on these networks will be checked and controlled. This reduces the need for internal firewalls and provides significantly more functionality and granular control than traditional firewall technology.

According to Dr. Tomas Olovsson CTO of AppGate: "Internal security is now easier than ever. This gives companies and other organisations an effective method of controlling access and protecting information in a way that is compliant with any requirement a company could have."

A typical installation can have one network dedicated for WLAN access, another network for servers that need to be accessed by a wide range of users over the Internet, another for internal servers with local and remote access for employees only, and yet another segment that contains sensitive data and applications where access requires special authorisation. All this can be accomplished with just one AppGate Security Server. It will control all user access to servers and services, and the servers will be completely isolated from each other Ð an important feature if there is a security problem with one of them.

The AppGate concept makes it easy to administer complex security requirements, and enables system administrators to manage corporate policies and compliance from one central point. Security Servers can be clustered to support virtually an unlimited number of users and applications.
