In the wake of ongoing mega breaches, organizations are seeking new ways to ensure their networks and applications – and the data they possess – remain secure. The move to the cloud and the growing sharing economy are significantly complicating these efforts as users - employees and third-parties - are relying on the Internet, instead of a LAN or WAN, to access select parts of organizations’ networks and applications. Akamai's Enterprise Application Access is a new approach to remote access. It provides a unique, secure, and more convenient alternative to traditional remote-access technologies such as VPNs, RDP, and proxies. With Akamai's Enterprise Application Access, no one can get to applications directly because they are hidden from the Internet and public exposure. A unique cloud architecture closes all inbound firewall ports while providing authenticated end users access to only their specific applications. Akamai's Enterprise Application Access integrates data path protection, identity access, application security, and management visibility and control into a single service. Akamai's Enterprise Application Access can be deployed in minutes through a unified portal with a single point of control, in any network environment, and at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions. The result is a secure-access delivery model that enables a zero CapEx, low OpEx model for critical workloads deployed in any environment. This offer includes the Akamai Enterprise Application Access Connector so that you can secure access to your application workloads in the Azure cloud
