Securing access (whether internal or from remote) stands as a top priority in upholding enterprise security standards. Both existing and upcoming threats, such as the emergence of quantum computing, present significant cybersecurity hurdles for nearly all enterprises as they navigate their digital transformation path. While there are many solutions which are employed, security remains a challenge. More than 70% of attack vector on enterprises are through remote access mechanism. Few of the challenges are network visibility to remote or even office users, restricting access only from “allowed” devices, identity security etc.

I-AM® ACCESS42 is an innovative secure remote access technology which works at application layer (OSI Layer 7). Using the same users can get secure access to web-apps, servers, VMs etc. Unlike other remote access technologies which forms the network level tunnel exposing the network , I-AM® ACCESS42 only makes the specific resource visible to the user thereby literally eliminating the attack surface.

Another important element is the identity based key exchange to setup end-to-end encrypted tunnel between the end point and making sure based on user’s identity the only resources which are visible are what is configured in the ACL.

I-AM® ACCESS42 is crafted to deliver swift, scalable, user-friendly, and secure Zero Trust access to enterprise applications and resources. Its security is of military-grade Caliber, as evidenced by its adoption in defence and last but not the least it also ensures protection from future threats like quantum-computers.

It is designed to offer enterprise applications and other resources fast, scalable, simple, and secure Zero Trust access. It is literally military grade secure and is quantum safe. Few of the advantages are mentioned below.

a)Follows Zero Trust Principles: Technology works on principles of zero trust.

I.No Implicit Trust II.Authenticate and authorize every time. III.Instead of Network Security, Secure the Assets

b)Secure Access: The solution can provide secure access to the resources (e.g., web-applications http/https, servers (Windows/ Linux), Virtual Machines.

c)No Exposure to Internet: Users can access resources through the internet without exposing such resources to the public internet.

d)End-to-end encryption: Between the user’s machine & the resources there is encrypted channel to prevent any MITM attack.

e)No Network access: Solution provides access to only resources for which the user is authorised.

f)Limited Access (ACL): Solution provides access to only “allowed” resources. Rest of the network remain dark.

g)Device Binding: Solution is able to whitelist the access device & binds it to user. So that specified user can access specified resources only from whitelisted device.

h)MFA: Optional MFA to bring strength to overall identity security.

i)Simple to use : Solution has the facility of point & click to enable the users to access resources securely just by clicking on icons.

j)Self-service mechanism: Set/ Reset credentials.

k)Easy web-appl access: Users can access the web-apps without having to remember the URLs.

l)Custom browser: Inbuilt customer browser to prevent attacks through browsers by installing malicious plug-ins. The browser doesn’t allow any plugins.

m)User Management: Comprehensive user management functionality with option to define RPA to integrate with existing access control systems.

n)Application Management: Options to manage the applications & access policies associated.

o)Audit Log: The solution keeps comprehensive audit trail of all access events by the user.
