Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)

We can provide a full UK & US Government approved Secure Virtual Desktop environment that is currently being used by the aerospace and defence organisations in the UK and USA.  The platform can restrict the flow of information that individuals can access from any web browser over the internet and is ideal for remote access.   

Castleforce offer solutions that have DSAS approval for:

Processing and holding information and data up to ‘RESTRICTED’

'RESTRICTED' over the Internet (ROTI) with approved encryption 

The Secure Gateway can be used for secure Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) with restricted access to applications such as MOSS / WSS, Outlook, and pretty much any application.  The possibilities are endless and it's already being used by companies that require a fully secure environment.

The Secure Gatway provides a complete solution offering military-grade security for clients with sophisticated security requirements

• Provides secure remote access, resource provisioning (authentication and identity management) and audit-able, detailed reporting.
• Internet access via single port (443) HTTPS (SSL)
• 128 MD5 and Triple DES encryption methods. Data secured in transit by 128-bit (strong) encryption.
• Reverse proxy capability allows connections to web, mainframe, and client/server applications
• Dynamically analyze and rewrite content
• Explicitly minimize all client–side caching

Access Security - Secure, Simulated Access

Risk is minimized through reverse-proxied application access to specific corporate hosts & application services and not the entire LAN.  Remote applications never communicate directly with internal servers and the remote devices are not given an IP address on the corporate network.

Endpoint Security - One “Door”

All traffic accessed remotely is tunneled over HTTPS Port 443.  Internal machine names are not presented to the remote client.

Ease of Administration - Simplicity

No additional user / access side software or hardware installation required.

Open Application Compatibility - Very Few Limits

Offers application-specific access to both commercial and custom developed applications that are web-based, Windows-based or mainframe. Proprietary AgileAlias™ technology supports even complex web applications such as MS SharePoint  and Lotus Domino.

Scalability - Easily Extendable

Hardware can be sized for the deployment environment
