Overview:
Personal aXsGUARD establishes secure network connections for home workers and branch offices to companies' headquarters. With mobile workforces increasing, companies face a growing number of security concerns. Whenever an employee remotely connects to the company's network it has to be done in a secure way. At the same time, security concerns must be balanced with the end-user's needs ensuring a smooth and user friendly experience.
Secure and wireless connection to the corporate network
Personal aXsGUARD enables branch offices or home workers to connect in a straightforward and secure manner to the main aXsGUARD Gatekeeper appliance at the company's headquarters.
Built upon proven VASCO GATEKEEPER core technology, aXsGUARD Gatekeeper offers a comprehensive solution for secure network connectivity.
Personal aXsGUARD is centrally managed in aXsGUARD Gatekeeper and has a Wifi receiver, enabling the remote user to work wireless. The security of the wireless network is also centrally managed on the parent aXsGUARD Gatekeeper appliance.
Easy configuration and setup
The configuration of Personal aXsGUARD is kept to a strict minimum. Only three parameters need to be defined: how to connect to the internet, the main aXsGUARD Gatekeeper and the Certificate of the main appliance. The Certificate contains the encryption keys to securely connect to the main site through VPN. All other security parameters are configured in the main aXsGUARD Gatekeeper appliance and are automatically pushed to Personal aXsGUARD. End-users only need to plug the Internet cable in the Personal aXsGUARD appliance to connect to the corporate network.
Remote parameters such as DHCP, WIFI settings and firewall policies are managed on the parent aXsGUARD Gatekeeper. Administrators can hence determine who can access the main site through VPN and who has direct access to Internet. The configuration allows administrators to route and monitor all network traffic on one central location while at the same time ensuring the highest security for remote or home offices with a minimum of effort. To achieve maximum uptime, multiple parent aXsGUARD Gatekeeper appliances can be defined in the configuration of Personal aXsGUARD. If for some reason Personal aXsGUARD is unable to connect to one parent appliance, a connection with another aXsGUARD Gatekeeper will automatically be set up.

aXsGUARD Gatekeeper:
aXsGUARD Gatekeeper is a security appliance dedicated to the needs of the SME market. The solution is designed for administrators who want an all-in-one solution for Internet connectivity and security. 25 functional features are bundled together into 4 software packages with additional content scanning licenses. Each software bundle can run on one of the five available hardware models allowing organizations of any size to choose the most suitable combination of performance and features. aXsGUARD Gatekeeper works transparently with any other solution allowing organizations to activate only those features they really need. Additionally, aXsGUARD fits perfectly into any network environment, whether it's a Microsoft, Linux, Mac or mixed environment.
1 hardware platform - 3 software bundles
The three Remote Access Solution software bundles can operate on each available physical or virtual aXsGUARD Gatekeeper platform. Should you require additional features, you simply can upgrade to another software bundle, even without switching the hardware appliance. An automated updating and licensing system will remotely push the new features to aXsGUARD Gatekeeper avoiding lengthy upgrade or installation procedures as your current configuration will continue to run as before.
1 software solution performance based appliances
Each aXsGUARD Gatekeeper software bundle is available on any physical or virtual hardware platform.
The hardware platform is also available as a virtual appliance which works with every major virtualization software. The appliances only differ in performance and in the number of network connections available. Each appliance has the same functional features and user interface which makes administration of multiple devices a lot easier. The web-based GUI ensures intuitive administrator use for all aXsGUARD appliances, from large installations on multiple sites to a single appliance on a remote location.
ADDITIONAL user licenses
To offer complete protection for your network, aXsGUARD Gatekeeper comes with separate content scanning and authentication licenses. Content scanning exists in a basic and a standard version with yearly renewable licenses.
The authentication feature can complement the Gatekeeper appliance by simply adding the VACMAN plugin license and DIGIPASS authenticators.
Recommended Users
Each combination of hardware and software has a recommended number of users. The number of users is an indication of best performance and hardware maintenance for the appliance and surmises that all available features – including the content scanning option – have been activated. There is no user limit, however, when the number of users exceeds recommendations, system performance may be influenced. As expected, the number of users can be increased when fewer options have been selected.

Content Scanning:
Content Scanning: Mail
The content scanner supports the most common mail protocols. E-mails can be stored on aXsGUARD Gatekeeper's mail server or can be delivered to an external mail server after scanning for spam and malware.
To stop all unsolicited mails, the content scanner has a multi-layered way of scanning e-mails. A first scan will take the custom configured rules of blacklisting and whitelisting into consideration. Secondly, all known malevolent mails will be blocked based on default blocking mechanisms such as header checks or a list of banned IP addresses.
Optionally, greylisting can be activated. With this feature, aXsGUARD will bounce received mails a first time. An actual mail server will resend the mail which will be accepted by the aXsGUARD appliance which will then list the sender's mail address as 'safe' after a couple of successful mail deliveries. The reasoning behind this is that most spammers will not resend mails.
In the standard version, DCC (Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse) will check with the central VASCO database to determine whether mail is spam. Mail virus scanning is also included: the Basic version uses Clamav; the Standard version additionally uses the Trend Micro engine.
Each mail is scanned and scored based on its' content. The administrator can then decide for each user or group if the mail should be blocked, delivered or marked as spam. The administrator can also decide what needs to be done with mail attachments, based on the mime type.
Because spam can sometimes be very local and personalized, users can resend detected spam (or non-spam) mails back to aXsGUARD Gatekeeper, which will learn from these mails and as a result will adjust the spam scores.
Content Scanning: WEB
To avoid that users import all kinds of malware and to increase productivity, all web traffic should pass the proxy on aXsGUARD Gatekeeper. After authentication (web-based or SSO by using static passwords or 2-factor authentication), specific rules can be applied to each user or group of users. It doesn't matter which PC the user logs on to, he will always receive his specific web browsing rules.
In order to create those rules aXsGUARD Gatekeeper first needs lists: A site list can exist out of a list of defined URLs or parts of URLs in wording. It can contain words and URLs that you want to block, or words and URLs that should pass. (E.g. the administrator might want to block URLs with the word sex, but would want to allow URLs with the word msexchange
Predefined blacklists are available on aXsGUARD Gatekeeper, categorizing 3.5 million sites into 90 different categories such as, malicious web pages (spyware, Phishing, virus infected,…); adult related content (adult, porn, art nudes,…); social networking (chat, blog, im, mail, …); gaming (gambling, online gaming,…); whitelist (!) 100% suitable for kids;…
Since site lists never can provide a complete list of all malicious sites on the Internet (due to localizations and new sites popping up every day), the standard version of Content Scanning also includes web content scanning: every web page will be scanned and analyzed, based on the content of a page.
Using content analysis, the content scanner tags particular words and phrases with a score and a category (e.g. the word breast would lead to give a negative score, but when the word cancer is found in the same page, it would give a better score). 30 different predefined wordlists (positive and negative) in multiple languages are provisioned in aXsGUARD Gatekeeper. Administrators can create their own additional wordlists to give an even better result. After content scanning, the total web page receives a certain score.
These site lists and wordlists are then combined into categories, to create a complete list of rules. It avoids repetitive work and adds granularity to the access rights you want to give to different users.
A category can be defined as an allowed list, a forbidden list and an exception list. The exception list is used to block URLs inside a webpage, without blocking the whole page.
These categories are then added to access control lists (ACL). An ACL exist of categories of sites and the time when this ACL applies (e.g. during or outside working hours). It also adds virus scanning and blocking of specific extensions. In the ACL you also set the score for the web based content scanning, to decide which pages are shown or blocked.
There is one general ACL, for all web traffic in the company, which can be overruled by ACLs which are applied for a specific IP address (e.g. printers, servers…), a group of people or a specific user.
Reporting & statistics
Every action through the proxy is logged on aXsGUARD Gatekeeper. Administrators can view and search through these reports during 2 months, or export them and use other analytic tools. A statistics tool is available as well which gives a complete overview of web and mail behavior. Statistics can be viewed per client, per website and per hour.
