NetScreen Sets Another SSL VPN Industry Benchmark with Powerful New
Dynamic Access Management Feature Sets New IVE 4.0 Platform
Addresses Sophisticated Extranet, Intranet and Remote Access Policy
Enforcement Needs SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- NetScreen Technologies, Inc. today announced the next-generation
release of its Secure Access product family, built upon the new
Neoteris(R) Instant Virtual Extranet (IVE) 4.0 platform, which
includes sophisticated, enterprise-class access management
capabilities. NetScreen today also announced the new NetScreen-SA
Central Manager product for unified administration of globally
distributed SSL VPN gateway deployments (see related press release
issued today titled "NetScreen Introduces Unified Policy and
Configuration Management Product for Globally Distributed SSL
VPNs"). With these introductions, NetScreen continues to set SSL
VPN industry standards for innovation by delivering products that
serve the secure remote access, partnerextranet and intranet needs
of enterprises. The NetScreen Secure Access appliances (formerly
known as the Neoteris Access Series) running on the IVE 4.0
platform are the first among SSL VPN solutions that can address the
advanced security needs of customers deploying partner extranets
and intranets with unique dynamic access privilege management, rich
user self-service, granular role-based delegation, and centralized
management. These new comprehensive access management capabilities
give network administrators a robust solution to deploy and control
access privileges for large and diverse end-user populations, such
as employees, corporate partners and customers. The new access
privilege management features in the NetScreen Secure Access
appliances can provide IT personnel flexibility in defining rich
authentication and authorization policies for diverse user groups.
Highly expressive parameters make dynamic access provisioning
possible, since administrators can define diverse access privileges
on the fly and map to various session roles depending on factors
such as user identity; network trust level; device control/security
(managed or unmanaged); dynamic device state (based on recurring
end point checks); device type (PC or wireless); session parameters
(time of day, login time); and security level, such as dual-factor
authentication or certificates. By combining these new variables in
dynamic authentication policies, expressive role definition and
mapping rules, and resource-based authorization policies,
administrators can provision access by need or purpose to ensure
compliance with enterprise security policies and business
requirements. "We require advanced access management capabilities
like these to assign appropriate resource access privileges to law
enforcement and criminal intelligence personnel connecting from
trusted and untrusted networks to their centralized applications
from remote locations across their state," said John Wandelt,
senior research scientist and secure information-sharing program
manager at Georgia Tech Research Institute, which is consulting on
several secure information sharing initiatives serving intelligence
analysts and criminal investigators. "Support for several
standards-based authentication and privilege management mechanisms
provides for flexible integration into existing infrastructure and
can minimize impact, complexity, and total cost of ownership." The
NetScreen Secure Access product family also includes features that
enable user self-service, customization, and delegation for
enhanced end-user productivity and reduced total cost of ownership.
The NetScreen Secure Access appliance's new customizable user
interface and support for multiple hostnames enable a transparent
user experience by providing differing user groups with customized
entry and domains. Granular role-based delegation can alleviate IT
bottlenecks by distributing the workload among qualified personnel.
Enterprises can also delegate administrative control based upon
business, geography, and functional needs. "Many organizations are
interested in a complete remote access solution for their
constituents and partners, including the ability to protect
web-based resources without requiring the deployment of a
full-fledged Extranet Access Management (EAM) system," said Ray
Wagner, research director, Gartner, Inc. "An appliance-based remote
access solution with EAM capabilities provides an appealing mix of
functionality, and may help enterprises looking for a way to
provision EAM functionality more cost effectively." The NetScreen
Secure Access product family has set SSL VPN industry benchmarks
for security, access, and scalability since their introduction in
2001. Unlike traditional distributed software-based
extranet/intranet security solutions, the NetScreen Secure Access
product family provides a cost-effective and scalable secure access
management solution in an appliance form factor. The NetScreen
Secure Access appliances deliver this rich feature set without
requiring enterprises to make network infrastructure changes,
deploy distributed software agents onto Web and application
servers, or maintain the security of numerous and diverse public
facing application servers. The appliances can eliminate expensive
and time-consuming extranet application integration, which can
lower deployment and on-going operational and maintenance costs.
"We believe the cost-effectiveness of our solution has helped drive
rapid adoption of SSL VPN solutions for employee access, and has
sparked demand for expanded use to other business applications,
such as partner extranets and corporate intranets," said Krishna
"Kittu" Kolluri, general manager of NetScreen's secure access
products. "With our new access management capabilities, we are
uniquely positioned with a cost-effective solution that addresses
extranet, intranet, and remote access security needs. NetScreen has
once again redefined the SSL VPN space with this new release of the
IVE 4.0 platform." NetScreen's Secure Access Appliances The
NetScreen Secure Access (SA) appliances, which have earned the most
awards and industry accolades in the SSL VPN market since first
shipping in 2001, represent the market's leading SSL VPN product
line. Enterprises worldwide have selected the NetScreen-SA 1000,
-SA 3000 and -SA 5000 products because they enable cost-effective
deployment of secure access to remote employees, corporate partners
and intranet users. Availability This new IVE 4.0 functionality is
