SIGMA
Sigma Security Partners
In keeping with our policy of maintaining a portfolio of leading technology providers in order to provide the best service for our customers, Sigma Security has partnered with SafeNet Inc., and Fortinet.
SafeNet, is a leading supplier of security solutions for networks, both public and private, and has set standards for secure
business communications and VPN technology. Moreover, SafeNet provides the only encryption platform for WAN and VPN networks.
Securing Your Competitive Advantage via SafeNet
SafeNet believes that your competitive advantage rests, in part, on securing those vital information resources that are instrumental to your organisation's success. The SafeNet core competency is securing that information and providing the necessary access control, as demonstrated by their expertise in SSL VPNs. Through these new-style remote access connectivity networks, authenticated users have remote access to an organisations's core resources via any Internet connection to Web and client-server applications. SafeNet has built on its experience in this field to develop SafeEnterprise iGate, its next-generation SSL VPN.
SafeNet solutions provide security via the following methods:
- tight hardware token integration - which eliminates problems caused by password-based (single-factor) authentication, closing a secure connection when a user leaves a networked device with a hardware token
- secure proxy - which transmits all Web and client traffic via SSL, ensuring privacy by encrypting and hiding private IP addresses, and reduces common exploitation of web server vulnerabilities
- client policy checking - which determines user access levels at login and ensures that the latest anti-virus software is installed and updated
- application-layer-only connectivity - which ensures that only data accepted by an application gets transmitted, reducing infections to the network characteristic of VPNs that connect at the network layer
- device independence - which guarantees network access for secure Web applications on mobile platforms such as PDAs and smartphones, not just PCs and laptops
- cache cleaning - which eliminates cookies, files, images, and URL histories from public computers to ensure confidentiality
By partnering with SafeNet, Sigma Security can pass on to customers the benefits of SafeNet's considerable expertise gained through almost a decade of development involving the SSL protocol.
