Organisations may want to utilise Cloud resources provided by AWS, Google Cloud or Azure but want to own and operationally control their Identity Access. There is a trend to offer “Virtual Appliances” – software versions of previously dedicated hardware gateway units so that they can run on compute resources residing in Cloud environments.
We have integrated CASQUE SNR using the capabilities of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software. All Cisco ASA 5500-X Series Next-Generation Firewalls are powered by this software and so are the “Virtual” manifestations called ASAv. Cisco Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance (ASAv) is optimised for cloud and data center environments with VMware, KVM and Hyper-V hypervisor support providing throughput from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps utilizing from 1 to 16 GB memory.
CASQUE SNR integrates both with clientless VPN configurations with the Challenge presented as a QR coded image as well as providing Challenges as file downloads using client installed AnyConnect.
