Access gateways provides remote access to a corporate network and applications.
We’ve collected videos, features, and capabilities below. Take me there.
Access gateways act as secure bridges that allow IT administrators to provide remote or guest access to a network and its applications and cloud. Business operators and other end-users need to access data and resources stored in their internal networks via internet devices like smartphones, tablets, laptops, or desktop computers. Since many operations function remotely, providing access to this sensitive information can be challenging to keep secure. So that is where the access gateway acts as the security gate between end-user devices and internal networks.
Access gateway security features allow administrators to restrict access to network assets based on policy and end-user identity. This software supports needs inherent to visitor-based networks (VBN) or virtual private networks (VPN). Mainly they support access to internal networks for a remote workforce, as well as the information and hospitality industries.
Standard capabilities across access gateways products include:
Secure remote access for on-premise apps or doors
Support for authenticated user access
