LyncShield Offers the Ultimate Lync Security Suite for the Enterprise Market

LyncShield's secure mobile and desktop connectivity solution has already been successfully deployed by some of the world's leading financial institutions, consultancy companies and large multinationals

JERUSALEM, Feb. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- LyncShield is now offering the ultimate Lync security suite to organizations looking for secure Lync connectivity, allowing them to safely connect users to Lync servers from smartphones, tablets and any other external device.

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."
