Functional Overview

Accops HySecure is a Secure Access Gateway that:

  1. allows trusted remote users to access any application securely over the internet, using secure protocols like TLS 1.2 and strong, configurable ciphers.
  2. supports granular access control at the application-, user-, and device-levels, and various authentication mechanisms, including Microsoft Active Directory, LDAP, RADIUS, and local authentication.
  3. supports Clientless Access, which provides access through browsers, helping hide the application’s details from the remote user.
  4. supports client-based application access when more control is needed by the user. The applications can also be accessed on mobile devices such as iPads, Android phones, or iOS phones.
  5. acts as an IDP (Identity Provider) and interacts with Service Providers using SAML to provide Single Sign-On with applications that are delivered as SaaS, like Office 365, Salesforce, etc. Alternatively, it can serve as an Identity Service Provider by hosting the applications listed above. In either case, an Accops proprietary solution, HyID, can be used for Multi-factor Authentication, with password authentication as one option and the other being SMS/e-mail token, biometric, etc.

The following is a standard deployment and some of the common use cases:

Use Cases

Access to organization resources and applications

This is the core solution HySecure provides and helps the remote users access the company resources like applications, networks, VDI (Virtual Desktop Interface), or hosted applications, in a highly secure manner. Remote users need to have access to the internet and a browser. The network access can be access to a subnet, a range of IP addresses, or a specific IP address.

This kind of access can also be provided to vendors or employees working from home.

Access from Remote Device

The remote users can connect to the organization’s resources using web-based portals, through a client, or using a hybrid portal. The support of pure web-based portals for accessing the organization’s resources helps in seamless access of those resources for remote device users.

Restricted Internet for Remote users

HySecure can also set up the remote user configuration in a way that forces them to route all traffic through the HySecure Gateway. As a result, internet restrictions can be applied to them resulting in better user productivity.

Prevention of Data Leakage

HySecure can also help ensure that the users who connect to the network are not able to print the screen, record the desktop events, or even access the clipboard. This restriction can be applied to selective users.

Replacing existing solutions hassle-free

An existing appliance-based VPN solution can be replaced with Accops HySecure MFA and end-point security, in a relatively seamless manner.
