Secure Private Access (SPA) from Exium provides fast, seamless way of accessing private applications without the clunkiness of VPN infrastructure. Exium Intelligent Cybersecurity Mesh. Adjacent to the internal applications running in a public cloud, data center, or on-premise server, SPA places a small piece of software called Cyber Gateway (CGW), deployed as a container or a VM, which is used to extend a highly secure Zero Trust Path out to the Intelligent Cybersecurity Mesh The CGW establishes an outbound connection, and does not receive any inbound connection requests, thereby preventing DDoS attacks. Private Access utilizes a lightweight Exium Client installed on a Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, iOS, Android or a Linux device. The Exium Client steers Private Access application traffic to the Exium Intelligent Cybersecurity Mesh using either DNS or the IP address. Moreover, within Exium service, both the user devices and the CGW use battle-tested hardware root-of-trust eliminating man-in-the-middle attacks. A Mesh Node approves access and stitches together the user-to-application session. SPA is 100 percent software defined, so it requires no appliances and allows users to benefit from the cloud and mobility while maintaining the security of their applications.
