AppGate Products
The AppGate Security Server can act as the core of the security solution. AppGate Security Server unifies all the necessary security elements such as authentication, authorisation, encryption, access control, client control etc. into one easy-to-manage, comprehensive solution.
AppGate Mobility Server is an easy, secure and cost-efficient way of making information accessible via mobile devices, without the need of rebuilding infrastructure.
The AppGate Distributed Device Firewall protects windows systems by checking all traffic to and from the network. It can be used as a standalone product or as a companion to the AppGate VPN clients. Accompanied by an AppGate client, it can be configured to allow only one outbound connection, the authorised and encrypted secure tunnel, when connected to an AppGate server.
The AppGate USB client is designed to be used on personal computers when connecting to an AppGate Security Server. It is a client that does not rely on, or use, the ordinary operating system on the machine. It will execute in a secure and trusted environment regardless of the configuration of the original operating system on the computer. In addition, it does not access or store any data on the local hard disks on the PC and will therefore not leave any traces or residues when the session to the AppGate server is closed.
