Aventail Introduces First Smart SSL VPN Publication date: Tuesday, 05 October 2004 Aventailís Smart Technology sets a new standard for ease of use and security by automatically doing more so the end user and administrator do less October 5, 2004 --- Leading SSL VPN product company Aventail today announced the marketís first Smart SSL VPN, built on the new Aventail Secure Access Policy (ASAPTM) Platform, Version 8.0. The Aventail Smart SSL VPN sets a new standard for ease of administration and use, extending Aventailís market leadership in policy management, application access and End Point Control. The Aventail Smart SSL VPN platform will be available later this month on Aventailís family of SSL VPN appliances and managed services. "The Aventail Smart SSL VPN raises the competitive stakes in the secure remote access market," said Jim Slaby, senior analyst at the Yankee Group. "It addresses the genuine but conflicting demands of two distinct constituencies in the enterprise space: IT managers seeking highly granular access controls with stringent security, and end users who need absolute ease of access." With Aventail Smart Technology, the SSL VPN automatically does more, so the end user and administrator do less, translating into higher productivity and lower costs. The main new feature benefits of the Aventail Smart SSL VPN are: ē Aventail Smart Access: Automatically and transparently determines and deploys the most appropriate access method for a wide range of resources. ē Aventail Unified Policy: Just one rule set for all resource types and access methods. ē Aventail Policy Zones: Granular access control rules based on the level of trust for an end point. Aventail Smart Access makes access easier, faster and more transparent for end users, because it automatically determines the right level of access and deploys the most appropriate access method. The end user needs only to click on the desired application link, whether Web-based or client/server, and the method needed to access that application is launched behind the scenes in real time. Aventail Unified Policy reduces the time and work for administrators by providing centralised administration with just one rule set for all resources and access methods. Aventail Unified Policy is three times or more faster than other SSL VPNs, because defining rules for multiple access methods and types of resources is just one policy model versus three or more models with competing products. Aventail Policy Zones extend Aventailís market leadership in End Point Control by allowing administrators to create multiple zones of trust based on the security of an end device. Unlike competing models that allow only Ďoní or Ďoffí options of access control, Aventail Policy Zones allow three or more zones to be created, such as Trusted, Semi-trusted, and Un-Trusted. For example, a user may only receive access to Web email from a Semi-Trusted home PC, while receiving access to a full range of resources from a Trusted corporate laptop. With the wide array of use cases and access requirements in todayís enterprises, three or more zones are needed to create the appropriate access policies that maximize both productivity and security. The Aventail Smart SSL VPN will be available later this month via Aventailís global partner network of value added resellers and service providers.
