Cryptzone Granted Patent Related to AppGate’s Method for Protecting Network Devices
Waltham, MA (PRWEB) November 03, 2015 -- Cryptzone, a provider of dynamic, context-aware network, application and content security solutions, today announced that the US Patent and Trademark Office has issued Cryptzone U.S. Patent 9,148,408 B1 for its “systems and methods for protecting network devices.” The company also has several other patents currently under review.
“Cryptzone has invested heavily in world-class research that enables us to uniquely identify and protect microsegments within the network,” said Kurt Glazemakers, CTO of Cryptzone. “We are pleased that the US Patent and Trademark Office has recognized the innovations that Cryptzone is bringing to market. Our differentiating technology creates a ‘segment of one’ between a user and a single resource on a network, providing highly granular, intelligent and secure access control.”
The new patent demonstrates Cryptzone’s unique ability to determine, identify and secure user access to a network and the applications and services behind it. Patent 9,138,408 B1 is related to the core mechanism used in Cryptzone’s AppGate technology and describes the way Cryptzone uses a central policy server (controller) to create user-specific tokens that define network resource entitlement, enforced across a set of distributed gateways.
AppGate enables organizations to adopt a software defined perimeter approach for granular security control. AppGate makes all unauthorized servers effectively “invisible.” It then delivers access to authorized resources only, verifying a number of user variables each session—including device posture and identity—before granting access to an application. Once the user logs out, the secure tunnel disappears. Additionally, when a user accesses services from a public network, or a device that failed to log in tries to connect, additional security requirements (such as multi-factor authentication) can be enforced, or access can be denied. AppGate’s dynamic, context-aware access and data controls enable fine grained security that ties into existing infrastructure and applications, which reduces risk and maximizes operational efficiency.
