I'm the CIO of the castle...
by Jamie Bodley-Scott, AppGate Network Security

Jamie Bodley-Scott of network security specialist AppGate looks at what infosecurity experts can learn from medieval castle architects, and how their concentric, multi-layered approach can help CIOs protect key applications and business-critical systems.

If we compare the evolution of infosecurity with history, how far have we come? I believe that we're somewhere shortly after the Norman Conquest - in other words, medieval. However that's not a criticism: in fact in the 13th century they had a pretty strong grasp of security issues. Go to any heritage castle that dates from these times and youÕll see what I mean...

AppGate develops mobile VPN client
by Tim Greene, Network World

AppGate secures connections between mobile phones and servers with new VPN client

AppGate, which makes its own flavor of VPN gear, has developed a VPN client for the open software platform for mobile phones known as UIQ3.

The client will enable phones to connect to an AppGate Mobility Server, the equivalent of a VPN gateway in the AppGate architecture. A secure connection can be established between the phone and the server.

Rather than standard IPSec or SSL VPN technology, AppGate uses a browser that supports the standard secure shell (SSH), the highly regarded authentication and encryption technology that runs at the application layer.

What about a secure IM system for free!

Have you read the warnings about using external IM systems for corporate use?
AppGate customers have a secure IM for free that encrypts all traffic, even file transfers, and controls the identity. Over the last couple of days it has been highlighted again that corporations should control use of IM systems. Instant Messaging is an excellent tool for fast communication person-to-person or in work-groups.

It is easy to set up and accessible everywhere. People all over the world have recognised the benefits for private use. Now they have started to use it in their place of work and companies that have spent a lot of money on their security are starting to realise that people are sending corporate information unsecured over public networks. And more and more hackers are taking advantage of this to spread viruses and trojans. There is only one solution - make sure people have an alternative to public IM services. AppGate provides, as a free module in the AppGate Server, a totally secure IM system.

Appgate, not just another point product

For more information please see this pdf or contact AppGate at sales@appgate.com

West Thames College, a Further Education institution with 400 staff and over 8,000 students, has installed a secure virtual private network solution from AppGate, in a project designed and implemented by systems integrator Network Defence.

New Product Review -AppGate Security Server 6

"AppGate has based its VPN products not on IPsec or SSL, but on SSH v2 instead. This offers huge a dvantages that will become immediately apparent to anyone who has struggled to get a traditional IPsec VPN working from a remote network using network address translation (NAT). The AppGate solution works without difficulty in that scenario. Because of the underlying SSH technology, client-to-server traffic can navigate through any firewall,NAT scheme, or any other network component."

VERDICT An appliance that is ideally suited to administrators who need to provide secure access to many users and maintain control over remote access.
