HOB Showcases Secure Remote Access Solutions at RSA 2015


At RSA (News - Alert) 2015 in San Francisco, HOB, a market leader in remote access solutions, will announce the launch of HOBLink Secure for Apache, which is the security component for secure communication and authentication in TCP/IP networks. The company will show live demos of HOB RD VPN, as well as numerous other products in its suite of remote access solutions at booth #3435 in the North Hall of the Moscone Center.

World Premiere of HOBLink Secure for Apache

HOBLink Secure for Apache premieres as a security component for Apache webservers that enables secure communication and authentication in TCP/IP networks. Websites are secured through the application of HTTPS with HOB-SSL on the Apache HTTP Server. The commonly used mod_ssl is replaced with the proprietary mod_hob_ssl. The HOBLink Security Manager makes possible the management and generation of certificates and keys, which enables the generation of your own Public Key Infrastructure. HOBLink Secure for Apache is the closed source alternative to open source implementations such as OpenSSL and guarantees a maximum of security for SSL transactions. In addition to the product presentations conducted at the HOB booth, Chief Technology Evangelist at HOB, Brandy Mauff will deliver a related Sponsor Special Topics session entitled, "Secure Apache Web Server with HTML and HTTP 2.0." This presentation, which will take place April 22 at 11:30 a.m. in North Room 132, will examine the causes and risks associated with HTML5 and HTTP 2.0 in Apache networks and provide strategic insight on how to optimize security and flexibility while accounting for these issues.

HOBLink VPN Anywhere Client

HOBLink VPN Anywhere Client is the universal IPsec VPN client that was specifically designed to use IPsec for secure access to centralized enterprise applications and data. The most advantageous aspect of HOBLink VPN Anywhere Client is that it does not require any administration rights or installation of drivers on the client device. When connected for the first time, the pre-configured software is downloaded to the client device and the user can immediately access the company network. HOBLink VPN Anywhere Client is based on technology patented in the USA (US8910272B2).



HOBLink VPN 2.1 Gateway (News - Alert)

Alongside HOBLink VPN Anywhere Client, HOB will present its latest IPsec VPN business connectivity solution: HOBLink VPN 2.1 Gateway, the IPSec VPN Gateway that protects data communications over the Internet by supporting the current IKE/ISAKMP (RFC 20401-ff) standards. Like all HOB products, HOBLink VPN 2.1 Gateway is a pure software solution, allowing for the utmost scalability and flexibility, as configuration and administration can be conducted locally or in a web browser. Coupled with the HOBLink VPN Anywhere Client, the HOBLink VPN 2.1 Gateway provides an ideal client and server partnership for any IPsec scenario.


HOB RD VPN

Due to a fivefold increase in cyber threats last year in the US alone and the detrimental effects of cyber attacks on business operations, companies are becoming increasingly anxious about the security level of the software products they utilize. Fulfilling the highest security standards, HOB RD VPN was recently certified by the German Federal Office for Information Security according to the Common Criteria EAL 4+ standards. It is one of the most advanced SSL VPN solutions available.

HOB RD VPN is a comprehensive solution that provides secure remote access to centrally stored business data and applications at any time, from anywhere and with almost any device. With HOBLink JWT, the included client software used to connect to central data via web browser, HOB RD VPN supports many different platforms, including Window, Linux and MacOS. HOB RD VPN requires no client-side installation or administration rights and is multi-tenant capable, making it easy to manage access to data and applications. Users also benefit from the easy and secure single sign-on features.

Additional new features include HOBLink WebTerm, the HTML 5 client for access to Windows Remote Desktop Services as well as HOBLink Dash, which allows for the automatic synchronization of corporate files across multiple devices.
