AEP Networks has unveiled a new security system that it says can control who is able to access what data from what device.
The company says Series A Version 7 enables workers to have the freedom to use their own device at work without presenting any additional security headaches for the IT department.
"Organisations no longer need to shut the door to employees looking to use their own devices to access corporate data. It isn’t the act of a consumer device connecting to a corporate network that presents a risk; it is the act of an unauthorised device touching the corporate environment," said Mark Darvill, Director at AEP Networks.
The system uses fingerprinting technology to check each employee and each device is fully compliant with security protocols during connection requests. This removes the need for the company to pre-approve devices. Workers or devices that do not meet compliance guidelines will be able to work in a quarantined environment so they do not pose a threat to the corporate network.
After a remote working session a cache cleaner removes all sensitive data.
Series A Version 7 works across Microsoft, Citrix and UNIX environments and can now scale to support 10,000 concurrent users. Data held in applications is accessed remotely via a browser over a virtual private network (VPN). AEP Networks said that it offers a variety of security levels, from Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 Level 4 to two-factor authentication and layered authentication.
