LyncShield Offers the Ultimate Lync Security Suite for the Enterprise Market

LyncShield is an innovative enterprise solution that prevents unauthorized devices (mobiles and desktops) from connecting to the corporate network, avoids the usage of Active Directory (AD) credentials and protects against account lockout/DDoS.
LyncShield offers the following Lync security features:
-- Active Directory credentials protection - avoids usage of active
directory credentials on the device by defining specific credentials for
Lync that are different from the AD credentials.
-- Two Factor Authentication (TFA)/Device registration - verifies that Lync
connection is achieved only from registered devices. The solution
includes a website with several registration workflows offering either a
self-service enrollment or a central management approval process to
register devices.
-- Block DDoS attacks and prevent account lockout - prevents a network
account lockout situation in Denial-of-Service (DoS/DDoS) attacks. The
solution offers a unique site defense approach handling an attack going
through all authentication channels (HTTP/S, SOAP, SIP and more).
-- Restrict Lync to corporate or managed devices - limits access to the
organization's Lync server only to corporate or managed devices that
have the MDM client installed. The solution offers several approaches
depending on the MDM implementation and supports most of the MDM vendors
in the market.
-- Smart card login for Lync mobile - offers a solution to organizations
with a network policy requiring smart card login to allow authentication
and user Lync mobile.
-- RSA Token Authentication - eliminates the need to use AD credentials for
users of secure tokens wishing to connect to Lync servers from external
devices and enables Two Factor Authentication based on the token. RSA
solution also handles Exchange connectivity.
-- Exchange Protection - protects Exchange Web Services (EWS) against
account lockout and limits access to the EWS only from registered device
(TFA).
"Connecting to the organization's server using the Lync client from smartphones, tablets and any other device outside the organization poses serious security risks," said Guy Eldan, CEO of AGAT Software, which developed LyncShield. "These risks derive from the need to authenticate a user connecting externally from non-managed environments and devices."
