DESCRIPTION

Rather than using basic port forwarding to blindly allow visitors to access your Web or application servers (like Outlook Web Access), the Web Application Security Reverse Proxy lets you control the incoming traffic to servers so you can apply various scanning and security features in order to protect them. Our Reverse Proxy removes the complex and cumbersome setup procedures of other products; you can manually specify the internal server(s) you wish to protect, or perform an automated scan which will identify machines currently offering services on HTTP and HTTPS internally. Now simply define which Interface or alias IP address the public Internet accesses these servers with, and apply protection profiles based on your needs.

Reverse Proxy also lets you offload HTTPS encryption from your web server. Visitors can arrive on HTTPS and ASG can decrypt it and pass normal HTTP to the target internal server, saving you having to setup and master HTTPS on the Web Server itself, and offloading the decryption operation onto the ASG to save Web Server resources. Alternatively, visitors could arrive on HTTP and then be passed over HTTPS for the journey through the Internal Network to the server if the situation demands it. With support for 3rd party certificates and easy graphical management of the entire process in a clear, precise manner, your traffic can be secured without the need for dedicated training in this area.
