Blue Coat: Web Gateway Security with SafeNet

Blue Coat ProxySG with SafeNet Java HSM and Thales Authentication Solutions

ProxySG is a web access gateway that both secures web communications through SSL encryption and accelerates the delivery of business applications. SafeNet Java HSM hardware security modules (HSM) integrate with Blue Coat ProxySG to enhance the security of enterprise networks without compromising performance by storing certificates and SSL keys in secure, tamper-proof hardware. ProxySG monitors web traffic and delivers enterprise resources over SSL-protected tunnels so applications are available only to authorized users. By storing the SSL private keys in a HSM, enterprises ensure that essential encryption keys never leave the enterprise, and consequently, that network traffic is always secure between authenticated parties. SafeNet Java HSM also offloads cryptographic operations from ProxySG appliances to accelerate encryption processes and further increase overall server performance.

SafeNet Authentication Client (SAC) is a public key infrastructure (PKI) middleware that provides a secure method for exchanging information based on public key cryptography, enabling trusted third-party verification of user identities. SafeNet’s certificate-based tokens provide secure remote access, as well as other advanced functions, in a single token, including digital signing, password management, network logon, and combined physical/logical access.

Building on Thales’s award winning authentication service, SafeNet Trusted Access combines authentication and access management in a fully integrated cloud service. Our service lets you transform your business and operate securely in the cloud by preventing data breaches, simplifying access for users, and enabling compliance.

SSL Visibility Appliance:Web Firewall and Gateway

The SSL Visibility Appliance is a powerful, purpose-built solution that decrypts incoming or outgoing SSL traffic and provides that content to security appliances for inspection based on defined policies. This provides IT security administrators with the visibility and control necessary to address threats and attacks that enter organizations by hiding in SSL encrypted traffic.  Once traffic is inspected and assured based on the established policies, the SSL appliance re-encrypts the data before sending it to its final destination.

SafeNet’s Java hardware security module (HSM), formerly Luna SP HSM, integrates with the SSL Visibility Appliance for secure SSL key storage. SafeNet’s Java HSMs are robust, high-availability, and high-performance appliances that store cryptographic materials (e.g. certificates, SSL private keys, etc.) in a secure FIPS 140-2 Level 3 tamper-proof hardware appliance. Storing these materials in a hardware appliance means the keys never leave the device, and cryptographic operations take place in the module to ensure the integrity of the entire cryptographic infrastructure.
