AppGate Network Security has developed a customization ToolKit that enables customization of installation packages as well as the client download web pages and the appearance of the clients themselves. The new customization ToolKit simplifies usage for both the administrator and the end-user.

The Installation Package ToolKit
The AppGate solution has different clients for different needs, ranging from web clients to fully installed clients. The installation Package ToolKit makes it possible for the administrator to choose what type of client users should connect with to access their different applications. For frequent users or companies rolling out specific software that builds on their laptops this is often a big advantage. The packages can be built to suit the exact needs of the enterprise bringing together different pieces of functionality as well as configuring the software to present a customized look and feel. By configuring the look and feel in conjunction with the use of specific Services or Roles it is possible to create a very wide spectrum of user experiences. It is also possible to have more than one installation package available - one might provide manual access to applications, another automated access. These can all be hosted on the same web page or on different pages.

Customized Web page and Interface
The Web page for end users can be customized in three different ways:

• Edit the look and feel of the home page.
• Replace the client package with a customized package.
• Edit the web client to suite corporate user scenario

With the new features in the AppGate Security Server it is possible to create own web pages to present a customized content and look and feel. These pages may just host a web client, be the placeholder for an installation file, contain help text, links, other company branding or a combination of all the above. AppGate Web clients may also be individually "named". That means if a user connects using a "named" client the service the user can access can be customized for each individual instance of the client. The appearance of the client itself can be controlled as well in order to simplify usage.

By combining both the above with some of the other features in the Security Server it is also possible to automate the software installation process. For example: if the user has connected using the Applet but the AppGate Personal Firewall is needed for access, then a CLIENT CHECK followed by an start URL command used to automatically upload and install the required package.

AppGate Network Security specializes in providing extremely secure network solutions such as SSH/SSL VPNs, personal firewalls and application protection systems.

AppGate Network Security ties together all the pieces of security technology in one easy-to-use system. AppGate solutions work in both fixed and wireless network environments, with the broad range of client systems and scales from small user systems up to enterprise level customers, supporting thousands of users.

That is why AppGate Network Security has some of the largest and most prestigious corporations in the world as customers.
