Introduction
1.2
What is the aXsGUARD Gatekeeper?
The aXsGUARD Gatekeeper is an authentication appliance, intended for small and medium sized enterprises. In
addition to strong authentication, the aXsGUARD Gatekeeper has the potential to manage all of your Internet
security needs. Its modular design means that optional features can be purchased at any time to support, for
example, e-mail, Web access and VPN management. The aXsGUARD Gatekeeper can easily be integrated into
existing IT infrastructures as a stand-alone authentication appliance or as a gateway providing both
authentication services and Internet Security.
Authentication and other features such as firewall, e-mail and Web access are managed by security policies,
which implement a combination of rules, for example, whether a user must use a DIGIPASS One-Time
Password in combination with a static password for authentication. Rules can be further adjusted with
restrictions. Security Policies are applied to specific users or groups of users and can also be applied to specific
computers and the entire system.
