"With all of the choices available in SSL VPNs and secure application access solutions, it's important for potential customers to understand the important differences between products -- before they buy," said Reggie Best, president and CEO of Netilla Networks, Inc. "SSL VPN Central is providing a real service by serving as an industry-wide clearinghouse dedicated to providing the facts about the different products out there.

"The Netilla Security Platform (NSP) and Secure Gateway Appliance (SGA) will appeal to small and medium size enterprises that want tremendous flexibility in building their extended networks," said Dana Hendrickson, president of the Breakaway Marketing Group (Breakaway) and publisher of the SSL VPN Central site. "Netilla's flagship product, the NSP, is relatively inexpensive, can implement and enforce very sophisticated security policies, and provides native 'thin client' access to terminal services and legacy applications. Netilla is one of the rare SSL VPN gateways with a 'virtual realms' architecture that enables network administrators to create customized authentication requirements for different groups or even individual users."

Netilla's products allow an organization's employees or business partners to securely access their business applications and networks using standard Web browsers, requiring no special software. Netilla offers two SSL VPN product families: the Netilla Security Platform (NSP) and the new Secure Gateway Appliance (SGA) line, which provides access to specific applications at prices starting under $5,000. Delivering unmatched flexibility and ease of use, the enterprise-class NSP family enables secure remote access to virtually any application for up to 2,000 simultaneous users. Both products incorporate the dynaTRUST(TM) policy-enforcement operating system and the Netilla V-Realms(TM) Client Identity Engine, which enforces multiple sets of unique authentication and authorization policies for distinct user groups.
