Products

AEP Networks offers world leading technology that allows IT departments to connect their end users to their corporate applications as securely and reliably as possible. These solutions are designed to not only provide high levels of security but are the fastest to implement and offer the most flexible licencing options for cloud-based infrastructures.

Ultra Communicate - Secure Communications

“Secure traffic optimisation platform for multi-bearer networks”

Organisations that rely on a variety of bearer technologies to provide voice and data communication between remote and central sites deploy AEP Networks Secure Communications to assist with legacy links that do not interface easily with modern IP networks and low bandwidth links such as 3G or satellite. Ultra Communicate secures and optimises communication in these sub-optimal conditions to ensure reliable and secure data, voice and video communication.

Ultra Communicate platforms are available in network platform, deployable and portable versions which allow groups of users or individuals to benefit fully from the security and optimisation technology.

“IPSec  Encryptor that protects IP traffic across open networks.”

Organisations are relying more and more on the internet to conduct their business and therefore need to ensure that steps are in place to protect the confidentiality and integrity of their data. AEP’s Enhanced Encryptors allows the deployment of government grade IPsec based security that protects confidential communications over public and private networks. It also includes advanced central management which significantly reduces the time required for initial setup and on-going tasks such as key change and roll over.

Ultra Safe - Key Security and Management

“A highly secure cryptographic key system that generates and stores high-quality keys in a tamper-resistant device”

The quality and safe storage of cryptographic keys is critical to the integrity of any key-based security system. AEP’s Key Security and Management solution is a Hardware Security Module (HSM) designed to generate excellent quality cryptographic keys due to the quality of the random seed used to generate them. Once generated, the keys are stored in a purpose-built HSM that, unlike others, is not exposed general-purpose operating systems vulnerabilities and positively erases all keys if the hardware is tampered with.

The Key Security and Management system allows the deployment of a high-grade public key infrastructure (PKI) that is both secure and tamper-reactive, positively destroying key material if the device is compromised.

Ultra Protect - Secure Application Access

“A secure application access gateway to control application access from any client platform.”

Users that connect to their corporate applications using Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDI) such as Citrix, VMWare or Microsoft Terminal Services are increasingly requesting to connect using a wide variety of devices such as their home PCs, public PCs in airports and even tablets. While these devices can significantly increase overall user productivity, they present a significant security and compliance risk for organisations.

LANProtect

"Available as hardware, virtual appliance and End Point for Windows, Mac, Linux thin client, enabling web browser access to a broad range of businss applications"

Allows organisations to deploy a proven solution to this ever-increasing challenge which ensures that the infrastructure is kept secure while giving end-users the flexibility they demand and reducing the IT department’s need to manage individual desktop images. Unlike other licencing schemes, AEP Networks simple licencing model for LANProtect is based on a cost-effective per-user model which does not involve additional license purchases for users wanting to access different VDI components.

CloudProtect

“A virtualised secure application access gate subscription service to control application access in cloud-based environments.”

Traditionally, cloud service providers have had to protect their infrastructures and their customers’ data in the same way as any enterprise would by paying upfront for security hardware and software licenses. This doesnot match their subscription-based business models where they are getting paid by customers on a monthly basis. AEP have developed the most innovative security licencing scheme for cloud service providers which does not require any upfront CAPEX spending. CloudProtect is a subscription-based, virtualised service that provides Security as a Service (SECaaS) to deliver highly secure, policy-based application and network access.

“An additional layer of security to protect confidential data accessed via AEP’s CloudProtect and LANProtect Application Access gateway solutions.”

LANProtect and CloudProtect deliver a high degree of security to corporates requiring user access to their corporate applications. However, in order to provide the maximum level of protection for confidential data, an addition layer of security around the cryptographic keys should be deployed. AEP Networks Assurance integrates with LANProtect and CloudProtect to deliver an advanced key storage solution that can be used to generate, secure and manage high quality cryptographic keys. The platform is tamper-resistant and is not vulnerable to attack from the network. This all provides the highest level of key security which results in the highest degree of application access security.

AEP Networks have a wide range of professional services, support and training packages available to help install, configure and maintain a secure application access infrastructure. These tiered services are designed to match your business requirements and can provide you with different levels of telephone support and replacement services depending on the criticality of your deployment.
