that depend on the Internet must go beyond perimeter-based firewalls
and intrusion detection systems to anticipate and protect
against potential threats. AEP SmartGate delivers a highly scalable,
powerful, and proven federated identity driven secure application
access solution which can be implemented across a broad range of
platforms, including mobile and satellite, to protect your business
communications. AEP SmartGate is an identity-based application layer security gateway designed for large-scale, distributed information sharing environments. SmartGate offers all the essential elements for secure information sharing in a single easy to deploy product suite:
End user access is through a clientless Java agent or via an intelligent client available on a broad range of devices including Windows, Macintosh and Pocket PC that does not require use of a browser. Endpoint security protection can be configured for compliance-based policy enforcement and interoperates with third party applications. SmartGate comes packaged with a FIPS 140-2 validated software token that can be stored on a variety of physical token storage devices. It also supports a range of third-party authentication systems, including X.509 PKI, LDAP, RSA SecurID, RADIUS, Entrust and digital certificates from numerous providers. Since SmartGate operates at the application layer and is built on SSL VPN technology, it is unaffected by NAT configurations, can traverse open firewall ports, and is unaffected by other obstacles commonly encountered in networked environments. SmartGate is network agnostic and works over any IP-based networking infrastructure. The software is engineered to overcome delays associated with satellite connections, allowing virtually the same as "in-the-clear" performance. SmartGate supports the mobile workforce by securing PDAs and wireless LANs. AEP SmartGate provides government grade security for Secure But Classified (SBU) environments. All cryptographic modules of the SmartGate server (not just subcomponents) are FIPS 140-2 validated by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). SmartGate is available on Windows, Solaris, Linux, and Windows
platforms and can easily scale to support tens of thousands of
end users. It can operate in a standalone mode or be integrated
with other AEP Networks infrastructure security products. |
