Today, your office is where you are: at home, at the airport, at a café. Your Customers, employees and partners need access to your business from anywhere from remote desktop, laptops and PDA. You need to ensure confidentiality, integrity and authorization of the communication so that only intended communication parties will get access to resource.
With today’s’ global and homogenous economy, the accuracy and responsiveness of an organization’s business processes play a key role in its ability to execute and to reach its overall business goals. Being able to provide highquality realtime remote access to mission critical information may be the only reason an organization outperforms its competition. By enabling remote access with Port Wise Identity and Access Manager, business information can be securely accessed by corporate employees from any location, any time, with any device.
Many companies realize they need to increase efficiency and productivity of their workforce, and in order to do so they need to provide their employees with solutions for more flexible working. However, security considerations do often prevent a successful deployment of corporate remote access services.
Questions like: How do we guarantee the user is who he claims to be? How do we know the connecting device is free from trojans and other malicious software? Is the connection secure? How do we ensure data and application integrity when the network boundary effectively moves beyond the corporate network premises? For a successful remote access rollout, these questions need to be addressed. |

| Port Wise Identity and Access Management |
| |
 |
| |
| Unlike most remote access solution vendors, Port Wise offers a security solution that effectively addresses all of the issues mentioned above. Port Wise provides a six step process to ensure secure and convenient remote connections without compromising security. These six steps include: |
| |
Assessment of end user devices
Authentication of user’s identity
Authorization to access applications
Access through an encrypted connection
Audit of user activity
Abolishment of user data |
| |
| Port Wise Identity and Access Manager is an integrated software suite developed to help organizations to make business applications available for remote users in a secure and convenient manner. The product suite includes a comprehensive security feature set, including: |
| |
| Application delivery |
| |
| Port Wise utilizes clientless SSL VPN technology to provide application access to remote users, without having to install proprietary client software on the user’s device. |
| |
| End-point Integrity |
| |
| To ensure malicious software never gets access to the internal network, the integrity of the end user devices must be checked to guarantee they meet the security requirements set forth by the organization. |
| |
| Integrated Strong Authentication |
| |
| Identities can easily be faked or stolen. Static passwords are either passed on to untrusted parties by unconscious users or by malicious software tools. |
| |
| Mobile Two-Factor Authentication |
| |
 |
| |
| Uses a consumer device the user already owns, such as a mobile, PDA, or Blackberry, to generate or receive a unique onetime password. |
| |
| Strong One-Factor Authentication |
| |
The unique Port Wise Web Keypad protects the user and the enterprise from trojans and spyware.
External authentication solutions, such as hard to kens, smartcards, and PKI solutions, can be used by Port Wise in addition to the built in authentication mechanisms. |
| |
| Single Sign-on |
| |
| During a session, users normally interact with multiple back end systems and data resources, many of which require additional user logins. To create a secure and user friendly access environment, Port Wise includes Single Sign On mechanisms to provide transparent login to back end applications. |
| |
| Policy Management |
| |
| Integrating all aspects of Identity and Access Management into a single, cohesive and integrated policy delivers significant security, scale and auditing benefits to an organization. |
| |
User Device Grant access based on device type and end point integrity.
Authentication how did the user authenticate?
User’s role who is the user, and what is the user’s role in the organization? User roles can be defined in Port Wise, or provided by an external user directory through Port Wise user directory service integration.
Network Create access rules based on the user’s MAC address or IP address. |
| |
| Audit & Reporting |
| |
| Access Requests by Web Resource Host |
| |
 |
| |
| Whether for corporate governance or regulatory compliance with standards such as ISO1771, Sarbanes Oxley, or Gramm Leach Bliley HIPPA, knowing who did what in the enterprise, and which applications were accessed from where is imperative. |
| |
| Enterprise Administration |
| |
| Port Wise provides a central administration console for administrating all features included in the Port Wise Identity and Access Manager. Real time alerts can be defined to provide threshold based triggers and proactive awareness through email and SMS. |
