Features
SD-WAN
So many companies are relying on cloud hosted applications for their business today. Salesforce, Concur, G-Suite, O365, video conferencing etc. It’s important that they have reliable connections to those applications providing the bandwidth that they need. This has driven the growth of SD-WAN in branch offices. Multiple WAN links provide redundancy but SD-WAN solutions help to dynamically select the appropriate link to use, or prioritize the bandwidth that is allocated to specific solutions. Companies can save money by eliminating expensive MPLS connections and relying only on public internet and VPNs.
Zero Touch Deployment
Site visits are not profitable for MSSPs. Anything that they can do to avoid sending technical staff out to sites to install appliances is welcomed. Zero touch deployment provides way to get appliances provisioned quickly is welcomed. Especially resonates in these covid lockdown days. Cloud management and visibility to quickly diagnose and address issues
Access Portal
WatchGuard Access Portal is another way to provide secure remote access. It provides a single sign on portal with convenient SSO access to both internal applications and cloud hosted SAAS applications.
A SAML identity provider (IDP) like WatchGuard’s Authpoint can be used to manage the SSO and enforce MFA.
One of the benefits of Access Portal is that it provides a secured clientless access to Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and SSH sessions.
We’ve seen much great adoption of Access Portal over the last month as companies have moved their workforce to home.
Previously it was mainly used for powerful and privileged user access. Now people want to get as many users as possible accessing internal servers using the secure RDP sessions.
The number of supported sessions can vary depending on the type of activity performed while the user is connected to RDP. And also the number of other services that are running and users traffic that is passing through the firewall.
