Saarbrücken, May 27th 2009. The Sirrix.TrustedVPN Appliances convinced the market with its intransigent focus on security and simultaneously with the considerable reduction of the typical operating expenses because of foolproof simplicity of the solution management. Alongside with providing at first the connectivity for whole locations and their related networks, Version 1.1 now also enables mobile users to have secure access to company networks and their resources.
The security focus is foremost emphasized by the specially hardened and TPM-hardware anchored architecture according to the Trusted Computing Design Guidelines. The operating expenses focus is based upon a novel meta-level administration concept, which supports an error-free configuration and a trouble-free operation in an up to now unknown dimension, although normally stricter security requirements go typically along with a higher administration effort.
Sirrix realized the same design goals when implementing the new Sirrix.TrustedVPN Software Client: uncompromisingly better in security than any commercial competition and in management, through the exclusive focus on trust relationships, considerably easier than other providers.
The installation and configuration of the VPN software client is completely and automatically supported by the central Sirrix.TrustedObjects Manager. During the implementation of company specific confidentiality requirements, mistakes through carelessness or lack of knowledge when deriving configuration details at the technical level are nearly excluded. Essential security goals are achieved by solely supporting a certificate based authentication. The essential secret keys for the safeguarding of the authentification are always locally generated and never leave their storage device. Nevertheless the solution reaches both for the central administrator and the end-user an up to now unknown simplicity.
For the user the challenge of commissioning the solution is reduced to the input of a one-time password which is provided by the administrator and authorizes the central certification of his locally generated key material. With the following „click“ on „connect“ a secure tunnel to the appropriate appliance will be established. The appliance knows all central authorizations for the user and enforces them for him.
The new solution is highly scalable and perfectly adequate for complex environments like multiply cross linked locations or mobile users. The Sirrix.TrustedVPN solution fully complies with the standards for trustworthy communication as defined by the Trusted Computing Group.
