SSL Virtual Private Network (VPN) Endpoint Data Protection

Benefits

  • Protects your SSL VPN and its users from threats already in place
  • Security with flexibility
  • User-friendly lightweight software
  • Rapid deployment

SSL VPN is an exciting technology that allows remote access to applications and files from standard web browsers. Because they require no client-side software other than a web browser, SSL VPNs offer great convenience, and promise to provide a much lower Total Cost of Ownership than IPSEC VPNs. Yet, at the same time, this novel technology presents new challenges in the realm of security. SSL VPNs are vulnerable to identity fraud and can expose your organization to critical data theft. Endpoint security and data loss prevention (DLP) are critical considerations when utilizing SSL VPNs.

If the user’s machine that is accessing the VPN is compromised with malware, the endpoint, or the data accessed by the SSL VPN is still at risk even though it was securely accessed from the SSL VPN. It refers to technology implemented to prevent any security-related problems occurring on devices used to access resources via the SSL VPN. It is important to realize that as opposed to earlier remote-access technologies, SSL VPN technology allows access from machines not known to be secure and as such, the endpoint concerns are different from the endpoint issues present in older remote-access scenarios.

Secure Your SSL VPN Your Way

SafeCentral™ for SSL VPNs ensures that the connection is secure and the endpoint data is protected when users logon to your SSL VPN. When you use SafeCentral™ for SSL VPNs data loss prevention (DLP) software, you’re protecting your endpoint from screen scraping, keylogging, DNS redirection, and other malware while using our SafeBrowser on our Secure Desktop to access company resources. You can allow other sites to be accessed using SafeBrowser with a SSL VPN only default, or you can allow Windows Remote Desktop Connection to run on the Secure Desktop so once the SSL VPN connection is established, users could connect to specific machines on the remote network. Finally, you have the option to allow normal Windows desktop Internet Explorer or Firefox browser plugins to automatically redirect certain browsing activity to SafeBrowser on the Secure Desktop.

Features

SafeCentral™ for SSL VPNs has many features that work together to ensure the connection is secure and the endpoint data is protected when users utilize a SSL VPN:

  • Actively protects desktop PC from malicious agents by intercepting the low-level Windows commands that allow them to function
  • Rescues the user from the perils of the local network (Wi-Fi, man-in-the-middle attacks) by establishing a secure, certificate guaranteed link with a secure DNS server
  • Routes the user to the SSL VPN directly through secured DNS
  • Provides visual cues with a locked down desktop, simplified browser, and cooperation with existing authentication methods (Site Key, certificates, etc.) to thwart phishing and other attacks
  • Restricts application execution privileges, including application tampering and the full range of Windows functions
  • Utilizes deep kernel-mode hooking to tie into the DNA of the Windows OS, below the functions exploited by hackers
  • User credentials cannot be intercepted by any keylogger, screen capture or other agent as SafeCentral™ locks out their ability to function.
  • Operates independently of signatures or databases, ensuring up-to-date protection at all times
  • Integrates seamlessly with preventative desktop security measures and existing authentication schemes with little or no effort
