SUMMARY

In today's rapid and dynamic business environment, small-and-medium businesses (SMBs) have to be flexible and responsive to ever-changing issues in order to remain competitive. However, when it comes to IT infrastructure, SMBs often lack the budget and resources to implement IT solutions the way large corporations usually do. For SMBs it is even harder to manage remote access and security in a cost-effective way, especially when access to corporate resources is not limited to the same location, but includes mobile workers and partners in different locations. For these situations Billion's BiGuard SSL VPN Security Appliance series provide the perfect answer.

> Single Box Access Management Solution

It is very affordable for small and medium business operations. IT administrators no longer need to buy an extra device to manage remote Intranet access, nor install and maintain additional equipment for data security. The integrated router functions provide administrators with a perfect idea to manage all the connections and file sharing of remote access is easy just integrating into one BiGuard SSL VPN device. Instead of buying three independent networking devices, the fully integrated BiGuard SSL VPN series fulfills all your networking needs.

> Secure Intranet Access Anywhere

BiGuard SSL VPN Security Appliance series supports SSL VPN functions for small and medium businesses; allowing them to establish private encrypted tunnels through the public Internet to ensure secure access to corporate resources from any remote location, such as a branch office, hotel, home, cyber café, or even a public kiosk. SSL use means there is no need for pre-installed VPN client software and provides remote users, mobile workers and business partners with secure, clientless and easy-to-manage remote access to the corporate network, using a standard web browser, to share files, e-mail, and access documents as if they were in the office.

> Comprehensive Security

BiGuard SSL VPN Security Appliance series supports SSL encryption and authentication to ensure data transmission security and user authorization. The device supports SSL VPN concurrent sessions with remarkable performance. Simultaneously, Firewall, Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), Denial of Service (DoS) prevention and URL filtering are all integrated to guard your network against malicious attacks. In addition the firewall features an e-mail alert service, activated whenever an attack occurs.

> Ease of Management

With the BiGuard SSL VPN Security Appliance series IT administrators can easily configure the gateway to control the resources and applications available to different groups of users. In addition, access policy, authorization, and authentication mechanisms can be set up as well. All this can be done through the easy-to-manage Personal Web Portal, which displays the applications by different groups of users.

> Scalability and Resilience

Dual WAN ports integrated into the BiGuard S20 enable combining two broadband lines into one Internet connection to ensure optimal bandwidth sharing for multiple PCs in your office, or to provide network redundancy in case one connection should fail. The load balancing feature is designed to provide the ability to balance the workload by distributing incoming traffic across the two connections, and meet growing business needs requiring more bandwidth, network scalability and resilience for mission-critical or Internet-business applications. The auto failover feature can be configured for a second connection to assure redundant connectivity when the primary line fails.

> Flexible Platform

Both SSL VPN and IPSec VPN are well-known remote access solutions. They are not competing, but complementary technologies. The BiGuard S20 offers both IPSec capabilities and SSL VPN capabilities on a single platform. This combination provides excellent deployment flexibility to small business operations for meeting the requirements of any remote access users. The need for, and additional cost of, deploying separate, extra platforms for both SSL and IPSec VPN is eliminated.

> Network Extender Technology

Virtually extending your connection to the central office network allows you to access your office resources seamlessly from anywhere - as if you'd never left the office. You can remotely access office files and applications through your computer, desktop or PDA, as if you were using a computer in your corporate network. A sales person on a business trip who needs to know the product inventory can use the Network Extender technology in BiGuard SSL VPN series, to connect to the corporate network and access the stock database to check, instead of phoning back to head office and asking.

> Transport Extender Technology

Enables specific remote users or specific remote groups of users to use the SSL VPN tunnel to connect to the corporate network to access the services as configured by IT administrators. Therefore the remote user does not have to change any specific settings in the web portal to make the service work. When a user remotely accesses MS Outlook e-mail, for instance, the Transport Extender technology will transport the e-mail service through the SSL VPN tunnel to the e-mail server in the corporate network, as configured by the IT administrator. Since the remote user doesn't have to modify any settings in the web portal, the remote user will feel as if they're using MS Outlook in the office.

> My Network Places

Just like the Windows Network Neighborhood, My Network Places allows users to browse network files on the office network. From a home computer, users can connect directly to My Network Places and access information inside the office - from now on there is no need to go back to the office if users forget an important document.

> Application Proxy

Supports most commonly used applications through a web-based interface. The great advantage of the application proxy is that there is no need to pre-install any client software for the applications users intend to download and share. The supported applications include:

Remote desktop service such as Terminal Services (RDP5), VNC
HTTP- and HTTPS-based intranet data
Remote control protocols: Telnet and SSH
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Network File sharing (CIFS)

> Personalized Web Portal

Through the BiGuard SSL VPN series' web management interface, grouping users and customizing applications becomes quick and easy. The web portal interface enables administrators to configure the BiGuard S10 or BiGuard S20 and authorize application access to users according to different authorization levels. The Quick Start Wizard provides administrators with a simple step-by-step guide to create, manage, and delete SSL VPN user accounts for remote users. The BiGuard SSL VPN series also provides administrators with user friendly tools such as SSL VPN logs to monitor remote users' access.

Since the portal page is personalized for each individual, all the applications each individual is allowed to access are all shown via the web portal. A simply mouse click can start an application shown in the web portal. By using a standard web browser, remote users can access their personalized portal page.
