The challenge
of securing your mainframe consoles and applications over the corporate
network continues to intensify as network boundaries are eliminated
and enterprise networks are opened to customers, suppliers and numerous
employees and locations. Trying to balance corporate security policies,
federally mandated security policies (such as HIPAA), LANs, WANs,
firewalls, VPNs, and local and offsite network infrastructure often
seems like a relentless battle. Visara created the SSL1000 to help
you meet the demands of your network environment. The SSL1000 concept
is simple - encrypted sessions on the network side, clear text on
your side. No complicated security policies to administer. No waiting
for corporate-wide enterprise security policies to be implemented.
Place the SSL1000 in front of your TN3270 servers (or in the rack
right above them), configure upstream and downstream TCP/IP addresses
and ports, and you’ve got the security of 128-bit 3DES encryption,
compatible with the built-in security of Visara NCTs, IBM Personal
Communications, Attachmate Extra, and many other TN3270 and Telnet
emulators. It can provide SSL security for Visara console concentrators,
or any other lan attached server, including IBM 2074s or the mainframe
itself. Why waste your most expensive MIPs doing SSL encryption?
