Microsoft IAG
Intelligent Application Gateway (IAG) is a remote access gateway that boosts productivity by giving mobile and remote workers, partners, and customers easy, flexible, and secure access to virtually any application from a broad range of devices and locations. Using a combination of SSL VPN (secure socket layer virtual private network), a Web application firewall, and endpoint security management, IAG provides employees, partners, vendors, and customers with secure and easy access from a broad range of devices and locations including kiosks, PCs, and mobile devices.

IAG enables IT administrators to enforce compliance with application and information usage guidelines through a customised remote access policy based on device, user, application, or other business criteria.
Granular Application Intelligence
At the heart of IAG is a highly granular and intelligent application firewall that improves the security, functionality, and performance of most applications. Default policies are in place to address common applications such as SharePoint, Exchange, and Terminal Services; additional (or custom) policies can easily be created to enhance proprietary line of business applications.
Endpoint and Access Security
IAG includes a comprehensive endpoint security engine that allows for the detection of a device's security and configuration state. This allows administrators to publish granular and restricted access to unmanaged machines and extend more comprehensive and rich access from corporate assets. Information leakage is prevented using IAG's Attachment Wiper. Policies are built-in and simple to manage.
Easy Management and Customisation
With wizard driven configuration, easy to use policies, and a highly intuitive user experience, IAG ensures a fast and easy deployment-allowing employees, partners, and vendors simple and secure access. Ongoing management and control is simplified via periodic updates to application and endpoint policies.
Key benefits include:
- A unique combination of SSL VPN-based access, integrated application protection, and endpoint security management.
- A consolidated and comprehensive gateway to provide access to virtually any application from virtually any location.
- A powerful, Web-application firewall that helps keep malicious traffic out, and sensitive information in.
- Reduced complexity of managing secure access and protecting business assets with a comprehensive, easy to use platform.
- Interoperability with core Microsoft application infrastructure, third-party enterprise systems, and custom in-house tools.
