Next Generation SSL VPN

Blue Coat ProxyRA SSL VPN appliances provide an all-in-one remote access and endpoint security solution that delivers remote access to users on both corporate-owned machines as well as unmanaged machines, such as a home desktop or business center PC.

Unlike other SSL VPNs that require client software (such as port forwarding and network extender clients) for access to feature-rich Web applications and client-server applications, Blue Coat ProxyRA never requires client software to install or local Admin rights so users can get the access they need from any machine – from corporate laptops to unknown Internet kiosks. With on demand endpoint security, ProxyRA protects the user and all information from spyware and accidental leakage. This is accomplished though a unique proxy architecture and patent-pending technology that delivers on demand connectivity and security services to both managed and unmanaged machines.

• On demand remote access to both corporate-owned and unmanaged machines
• Never requires client software or local Admin rights
• Support for both Web and client-server applications
• No URL rewriting for Web applications eliminates per application configuration
• Automatic spyware protection suppresses keyloggers and other spyware
• Information leakage prevention through controls of system functions (print, save, forward, etc.)
• High performance architecture with automatic load balancing for uninterrupted connectivity
• Customizable host integrity checking to adhere to network security thresholds

 

 

Blue Coat ProxyRA represents the next generation of SSL VPNs that provides a single mode solution with integrated endpoint security and information protection features. With Blue Coat ProxyRA, extending access to all endpoints – such as providing Web mail access from home PCs – without concerns about endpoint attacks, data theft or inadvertent information leakage is simple and easy.
