IBM Sterling Secure Proxy: Details

IBM Sterling Secure Proxy certified containers are enterprise-grade, security-hardened product editions with integrated common software services for consistent deployment lifecycle management. The scalable containers include easy iinstallation and configuration options, and upgrade and roll-back management.

Provides a secure intermediary, a standalone server, as the demilitarized zone (DMZ). This is a sterile holding area until the partner is successfully validated. Then a separate session is established from the DMZ to the trusted zone.

Minimizes rich targets in the DMZ by ensuring that files, user credentials and data are never stored on physical drives in the DMZ. Removes requirement for inbound holes in the firewall.

Prevents direct communications between external and internal sessions by establishing secure session breaks in the DMZ using SSL or TLS encryption.

Provides authentication options, including IP address, user ID and password, digital certificates, SSH keys and RSA SecurID.
