Netilla Security Platform

The AEP Netilla Security Platform (NSP) is an SSL VPN appliance that allows organizations of all sizes to gain browser-based, secure access to ANY terminal server application, simply and safely through a Web browser.

Unlike competitors that handle only one application environment, the AEP NSP offers a full-spectrum solution for the most diverse application access needs, providing best-of-breed access to Citrix Presentation Server, native Windows Terminal Services, UNIX/Linux, Web-based applications or even SSL tunneling for client/server synchronization.

By combining everything your valued customers need for secure application access into a single network appliance, the NSP dramatically reduces the cost and complexity once required for a secure remote access implementation, while adding crucial security elements such as policy-defined web portal access, cache cleaning, session timeouts, a secure desktop environment and digital certificates.

Combining the NSP with the AEP Netilla Security Platform Load Balancer delivers a comprehensive, policy-based access solution for 5 to many thousands of users.
Features:

• Policy-defined, Web-based access to Citrix, Windows Terminal Services, X11, UNIX, Linux, and Mainframe (3270/5250)
• Identity-enforced deployment of applications through an icon-driven webtop
• Policy-based Web application access via secure web reverse proxy and unique Java rewrite technology
• Sophisticated V-Realms™ authentication and authorization architecture integrates seamlessly with existing authentication infrastructures (LDAP/AD/Radius/PKI/2-Factor/NT Domain)
• Fine-grained Network Extension capabilities for VOIP and other TCP or UDP based applications
• Client Integrity tools eliminate data theft (cache cleaning, secure desktop, host integrity, adaptive policies, machine identification)
• Powerful, VPNC and ICSA Labs-approved security at the network edge
• Surprisingly quick installation and little ongoing management
• High productivity: Print, move files, leverage high-color applications (like CAD/CAM, X-Ray and imaging) and work seamlessly from anywhere
• Supports geographical clustering and high availability across multiple data centers for disaster planning (via the AEP NSP Load Balancer).

AEP: The Citrix and Terminal Server Specialists

AEP’s ICSA Labs-certified SSL VPN technology specializes in securing server-based computing environments. The NSP combines the assorted software and hardware elements typically required to secure crucial server-based application resources into a single, easy to manage and deploy device. In this way, the NSP dramatically reduces the cost and complexity once required for securing server-based applications, allowing companies to extend their Citrix or Terminal Server infrastructures with ease and confidence.
The NSP enhances Citrix and Terminal Services:

• Policy-driven, Icon-based webtop with application auto launch capabilities
• Embedded 2-factor authentication server option
• Session timeouts, periodic re-authentication, reporting and logging, and client machine identification
• Robust endpoint integrity options
• "On Demand" ICA and RDP client push, without admin rights

AEP Keyper - the only FIPS 140-2, Level 4 Hardware Security Module (HSM) available - allows authorized users to generate, store and use high quality keys within a tamper reactive, Ethernet-connected HSM.

AEP Keyper is the most comprehensive cryptographic HSM of its class for secure key management, offering public key infrastructure (PKI) administrators the highest levels of assurance and performance. AEP Networks' revolutionary ACCE technology, at the heart of AEP Keyper, guarantees the safety and integrity of critical key material. AEP Keyper is ideally suited to businesses deploying a cryptographic system where the protection of cryptographic keys is a priority, for example, in organizations requiring certificate signing, code or document signing, bulk generation or ciphering of keys or data.

AEP Keyper is available as Keyper Enterprise and Keyper Professional.
