Access Client at Mac App Store analyse

Access Client is a complement to Nexus Hybrid Access Gateway, that allows for secure remote access to internal client-server resources.

The client-server applications are registered in Hybrid Access Gateway as VPN tunnel resources.

The Access Client creates a VPN tunnel to the server and sends HTTP traffic to server(Hybrid Access Gateway) and receives response, this way Access Client app enables user to access resource which are protected and secure. The app does not store or sends user information and only captures HTTP request for those NDS or ip address which user intended to access via VPN tunnel.

Security features in Access Client

The Assessment feature checks the security status on the client before creating the tunnel. Access can then be restricted depending on certain preconditions, for example MAC address of client, running client processes, computer name and domain name.

The client firewall is used to restrict the client from communicating with other clients and servers outside the tunnel. The client firewall can block both incoming and outgoing traffic.
