Celestix WSA Series

Celestix WSA SSL VPN Appliance

The WSA appliance is a Secure Socket Layer Virtual Private Network (SSL VPN) that provides employees and partners with policy-based secure access to applications and data from any PC or device and any location.

The WSA secure access solution enables remote access from diverse endpoints through a single point of entry to almost any business application and file share, while enforcing user authentication and authorization over a policy-defined application-layer connection. Endpoint security management enables granular access control and deepcontent inspection and application protection.

The Celestix WSA enables users to access line-of-business, intranet, and client/server resources from a broad range of devices and locations, while providing infrastructure protection and information safeguards for corporate applications and data.

Control Access

Secure, web-based access to business critical applications and data:

• •Differentiated and policy-driven access to network, server, and data resources.
• Flexible application-intelligent SSL VPN from any device or location.
• Highly granular access and security policy enforced at the session, application, and functionality levels.
• Comprehensive basic and form-based authentication through Active Directory, RADIUS, LDAP, and SecurID.
• Customizable, identity-based web portal with single-sign-on (SSO).
• Handles embedded browser applications.
• Connectivity and control for client/server and legacy applications.

Protect Assets

Integrated application protection helps ensure the integrity and safety of network and application infrastructure by blocking malicious traffic and attacks:

• Application-layer firewall blocks non-conformant requests, such as buffer overflow or SQL injection, on application protocols.
• Comprehensive protocol validation and deep content inspection with both positive and negative logic rulesets.
• URL cloaking and full functionality for remote users through dynamic URL rewrite and HTTP parameter filtering.
• Application Optimizers provide out-of-the-box protection for high value applications such as SharePoint Server, Microsoft Outlook Web Access, SAP, and WebSphere.
• Comprehensive monitoring and reporting; integrates with third-party risk and policy management platforms.
• Extensible infrastructure and tools for custom application publishing and scripting.

Safeguard Information

Comprehensive policy enforcement helps drive compliance with legal and business guidelines that require information usage criteria to limit exposure and liability when accessing sensitive corporate data:

• Ensures network integrity by restricting client access based on endpoint security profile.
• Strong endpoint security management and verification helps ensure
  endpoint health compliance and session control.
• Enforces policy controls over actions within an application.
• Cache-cleanup tailored to specific applications removes downloaded files and pages, URLs, custom caches, cookies, history, and user credentials.
• Detects endpoint security state.

WSA Models

It's important to note that Celestix' concurrent user count is merely a recommendation, not a restriction. In stark contrast, other SSL-VPN appliances will deny incoming connections when you reach the maximum number of connections in your license.
