Microsoft Intelligent Application Gateway 2007

Microsoft’s Intelligent Application Gateway (IAG) 2007 with Application Optimizers provides secure socket layer (SSL) virtual private network (VPN), a Web application firewall, and endpoint security management that enable access control, authorization, and content inspection for a wide variety of line-of-business applications. Together, these technologies provide mobile and remote workers with easy and flexible secure access from a broad range of devices and locations including kiosks, PCs, and mobile devices. IAG also enables IT administrators to enforce compliance with application and information usage guidelines through a customized remote access policy based on device, user, application, or other business criteria.

Key benefits include:

• A unique combination of SSL VPN-based access, integrated application protection, and endpoint security management.
• A powerful, Web-application firewall that helps keep malicious traffic out, and sensitive information in.
• Reduced complexity of managing secure access and protecting business assets with a comprehensive, easy to use platform.
• Interoperability with core Microsoft application infrastructure, third-party enterprise systems, and custom in-house tools.

Integrated with ISA Server 2006, IAG 2007 delivers a single, consolidated appliance for network perimeter defense, remote access and application-layer protection over both SSL and IPsec connections, providing businesses with a broader set of choices for their remote access requirements. Integration of SSL VPN into existing Microsoft infrastructure supports secure access to both Microsoft and non-Microsoft applications and services from a single appliance.
