Press Release
StoneGate SSL VPN 1.2 offers full mobility and security with centralized monitoring and auditing
Monitoring status and log data of SSL VPN appliances now available via StoneGate Management Center
Helsinki, Finland - 11 November 2008 – Stonesoft, an innovative
provider of integrated network security and business continuity solutions, introduces the StoneGate
SSL VPN 1.2 for full mobility, security and ease of administration. With the new version, log
details and monitoring of SSL VPN appliances are integrated with StoneGate Management Center,
providing a centralized view of all remote connections.
The StoneGate SSL VPN 1.2 enables organizations to offer their employees and partners
controlled and secure, yet flexible access to important data from anywhere, at any time and with
any device. The administrator can now easily access log data and monitor the status of SSL VPN
appliances, as well as all other StoneGate network security appliances, via the monitoring view of
StoneGate Management Center.
“StoneGate SSL VPN 1.2 further strengthens our comprehensive network security offering,
making the administration of SSL VPN appliances easier, more transparent and more cost-efficient
than ever before. Instead of having to switch between separate views to monitor the status of
different network security appliances, the administrator now has a unified view of all central
security components like remote access gateways, firewalls and intrusion prevention systems”
highlights
Klaus Majewski, VP of Marketing at Stonesoft.
Monitoring and reporting integration
The administrator can view the status of SSL VPN appliances as well as other monitoring information, such as the CPU load, from the monitoring view of StoneGate Management Center. Resource unavailability can be noticed before it becomes a problem for remote users, and audits and reports required for regulatory compliance are created easily. In practice, this further improves the security of the information flow between the organization, its partners, customers and employees, regardless of where they are and which devices they use to communicate with each other.Enhanced load balancing and high availability features
StoneGate SSL VPN offers also enhanced load balancing features, with the StoneGate Server Pool Monitoring Agent. StoneGate Firewall can act as a load balancer for a cluster of SSL VPN appliances. In SSL VPN cluster both nodes are always active, so hardware investments are continuously in efficient use. If one node fails, the remaining node will handle the connections, allowing remote users to maintain the access to the required resources.Availability
StoneGate SSL VPN 1.2 is available for shipping in November 2008.Photos
