The maXecurity products offer authentication, authorization, Single Sign-On (SSO), audit & compliance reporting, and significant cost savings, all in an easy-to-maintain hardware appliance.

• Authentication & Authorization: maXecurity products enable flexible, controlled access to all of the web-based resources across an enterprise. By taking advantage of existing user accounts, maXecurity products eliminate the need for users to manage additional passwords. Existing roles and groups can be easily applied to web applications, offering fine-grained authorization with minimal effort.

 

• Single Sign-On: According to Gartner Group, approximately 30% of all Help Desk calls are for password-related problems.¹ The maXecurity products can reduce, or even eliminate, these problems by standardizing on a single login screen with a single password for all web-based applications.

 

• Compliance: InfoWorld reports that “90 percent of companies fail compliance,”² according to a recent study by the IP Policy Compliance Group. maXecurity products are turn-key solutions that are designed to control, segregate, and audit access to critical data, helping to close the compliance gap.

 

• Hardware: The maXecurity products are a comprehensive solution that combine security with optimal performance for Web Access Management products. The maXecurity products' exclusive HotProcess™ architecture allows a company's infrastructure to achieve an exponential performance boost over first-generation, software-based products, freeing up data center space and reducing power costs. Unlike competitive products, maXecurity products scale linearly, offering unlimited capacity.

 

• Significant Cost Savings: The maXecurity products have been specifically designed to provide a significant reduction in total cost of ownership. A recent study of a large financial institution has shown that the maXecurity products result in millions of dollars in annual cost savings compared with a competitive Web Access Management product.³

Features & Benefits Chart

Data can be transmitted, in real-time, externally to a digital dashboard, allowing instantaneous notification of security breaches or policy changes		Agent-less, Proxy-based Architecture	A proxy architecture requires less installation, support and version management from the customer than competitive agent-based approaches
			Self-contained, Hardened Appliance	There is no need to purchase and manage additional servers
Role-based Configuration	The maXecurity products enforce segregation of duties (a key component under Sarbanes-Oxley section 404). Duties are broken out for: Security Administrators Infrastructure Administrators Policy Administrators Auditors		Standards-based Protocols	Based on the HTTP v1.1 and LDAP v3 standards, the maXecurity products can be integrated with a diverse set of distributed and mainframe technologies from a wide variety of vendors: Any web server Any LDAP server RACF (via z/OS LDAP) and TopSecret

Maintenance			Cost Savings
Feature	Benefit		Feature	Benefit
Ease of Configuration	The appliance configuration settings are stored in an external LDAP policy server. Therefore: Settings take effect instantly & globally New appliances can auto-configure themselves and be brought online within minutes		Hardware Savings	The maXecurity™ product design results in streamlined system deployment for lower set-up costs The maXecurity hardware appliances eliminate the need for additional hardware
Ease of Maintenance	The maXecurity products support a delegated administration model whereby all administrative functions are performed via an intuitive web interface		Personnel Savings	The maXecurity appliances eliminate the use of Unix administrators for policy servers and OS maintenance requirements The delegated administration eliminates the use of an operations team for policy administration because policy administration is self-serviced by web application owners The proxy-based model reduces/eliminates the use of a dedicated engineering team because there are no web agents and no conflicts between the web server vendor, version, and OS
TrustMapping™	Identity data can be linked seamlessly and transparently across LDAP user stores without the need for complex data synchronization
