HySecure Components

The core components of the HySecure product are:

  • Gateway
  • Client

Gateway

Gateway that is a combination of multiple modules, usually resides at the edge of the network, accepts requests from mobile clients to provide access to the organization resources based on the configured policies. The Gateway, also referred as a HySecure Server, comes as part of an ISO image of a security hardened enterprise class Linux distribution derived from CentOS. The Gateway needs to be deployed in a cluster with 1 or more nodes.

Remote Client

The mobile user has to log on to the Gateway to access the organization's resources through one of the following methods:

Desktop Client

Accops HySecure Desktop Client is a small footprint self-upgrading client that is used to log on to the Gateway, without having to use a web browser. The HySecure Client for Desktop also supports non-Windows platforms such as MAC and Linux OS. The Android and iOS version of the client are also available.
