Access Control Solutions
Centralize policy control and scale cost-effectively
Providing users with appropriate access to business resources is essential to maintaining productivity. Yet users, applications, and even data centers are now often located outside the traditional business perimeter. The growing complexity of managing access and authentication puts an increasing burden on your IT infrastructure and management costs.
F5 provides a unified access solution that gives you a central control point to manage access across your dynamic environment. It protects your public-facing applications by providing policy-based, context-aware access to users while consolidating your access infrastructure. You can also ensure that users have secure remote access to corporate resources from all networks and devices. In addition, F5 has expanded its remote access services to IPv6 networks, ensuring business continuity for your organization during the evolution of the Internet.
Why do I need unified access control?
Business benefits of using F5 for access management include:
- Centralized, policy-based access.
With unified access control, you can create a single policy for all access methods or create unique policies depending on access method, device, user group, or other criteria. - Dynamic access control.
Dynamic webtops and application tunnels provide secure and dynamic access to networks and applications based on user identity and the results of endpoint inspection. - Strong endpoint security.
By validating client security postures, you can protect your organization from virus or malware infections, accidental data loss, and rogue device access. - Simplified management and reduced costs.
Full AAA control helps you replace multiple access tiers, implement single sign-on (SSO), and reduce infrastructure and management costs. - High performance, scalability, and flexibility.
F5 solutions perform at unprecedented speed and scale in adaptable environments to support thousands of users easily and cost-effectively.
