What is AppGate ?

AppGate Network Security represents a new breed of security products which makes it possible to rethink that traditional way of building secure networks and to secure access. The AppGate solution truly delivers holistic security and access control where other approaches fall short. AppGate’s security architecture was designed with two principles in mind:

Everyone inside the network is not necessarily trustworthy, and

Everyone outside the network is not necessarily untrustworthy.

The revolutionary AppGate solution is designed so that protection of IT assets occurs as close as possible to the enterprise assets.

The Difference

The difference between the traditional IT approach to security (one firewall which acts as a perimeter) and the AppGate approach is that the AppGate solution puts a lock on each IT asset, such as the CRM system, accounting system, or development application As a result of this method, AppGate safe-guards all content inside the network not only from external threats, but also from internal threats. By attaching the AppGate Server as security system in front of application servers and treating external security no differently than internal security, the AppGate solution allows users to request and access corporate assets through an encrypted link from any Internet connection, whether it be from home, office, or a remote wireless connection. Additionally, with the AppGate solution, users may initiate a secure connection directly to their enterprise’s application server or other electronic assets through virtually any Internet-connected device, such as a desktop PC, laptop, iPad, Smart-phone or PDA.
