And RSA Professional Services offers a range of integration alternatives for implementing the solution within your environment. An agent developed with the RSA Keon Agent SDK is an external proxy to the application being protected. No application source code is required since all programming work is done outside of the application source code. The authentication information, along with an X.509 digital certificate, is downloaded to the RSA Keon Desktop software upon login. The application agent can then access this data, decrypt it, and use the authentication information to login directly to the application with either the username or any role assigned to the user.
Administrators benefit from reduced help desk activity and expense.
Development times can vary depending on the application and the RSA Keon Agent SDK functions used. The application VPN runs from the RSA Keon Desktop software to the application server and uses a direct, secure SSL-encrypted tunnel. And all data is tracked using the RSA Keon Security Server event logging subsystem, eliminating the need for additional logging software. Because the RSA Keon Agent SDK functions are designed to be non-intrusive, they can be used across a broad set of applications, including those applications where the source code is not available or the customer does not want to modify it. A line encryption agent is available, as well as other agents developed by RSA Professional Services.
