Intelligent Application Gateway (IAG) is a remote access gateway that boosts productivity by giving mobile and remote workers, partners and customers easy, flexible and secure access to virtually any application from a broad range of devices and locations. Using a combination of SSL VPN (secure socket layer virtual private network), a Web application firewall and endpoint security management, IAG provides employees, partners, vendors and customers with secure and easy access from a broad range of devices and locations including kiosks, PCs and mobile devices.

IAG enables IT administrators to enforce compliance with application and information usage guidelines through a customised remote access policy based on device, user, application or other business criteria.

 By leveraging the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption capability built into all standard browsers, the gateway establishes secure sessions to users connecting via all types of devices, dynamically granting or denying access to specific applications and data based on authentication factors including: 

• Who are you? By prompting for user name and password, the appliance enforces access control through a wide variety of authentication mechanisms including Active Directory®, RADIUS, NTLM, Kerberos Constrained Delegation and more.

• Who are you really? Able to enforce two-factor authentication for customers who require the strongest access control including smartcards, tokens, one-time passwords, SMS one-time passwords and more.

• Where are you? Provides more granular access control for organisations with security policies that prohibit particularly sensitive applications or data to be accessed when users connect through locations such as airports, Internet cafes or homes.

• What type of device are you using? Access to individual applications and network resources can also be based on the type of device attempting to connect, making it possible to provide more liberal access for variety of trusted devices and situations and more restricted access for less trusted devices and situations. For example, managed corporate laptops that you have secured and trust may be able to access applications and data that are not made available to users of smart phones, unmanaged PCs or Internet kiosks.

• What state is your device? By monitoring the state of the device – including factors such as patch level, anti-virus brand and version, firewall status, anti-spyware presence and more – access to each network resource can be further restricted. For example, a device that does not meet organisation guidelines for latest antivirus signature may not be allowed to upload files or may only be given access to view webmail until the AV signature is updated to one that meets specifications.
