The protection of web applications and web services is one of the most important considerations for all companies that use online banking, internet-based business processes or e-commerce applications. phion airlock lets companies successfully use the diverse possibilities of the internet without jeopardising the security and availability of their web applications and web services. Because airlock integrates perfectly into any IT infrastructure, the experts of Kapsch BusinessCom work closely with customers on the implementation of their projects.

“From the beginning of an airlock project to its successful conclusion, Kapsch, as the leading system integrator and network provider, offers tailor-made support - from consulting and implementation to technical support,” explains Thomas Blaschka, Head of Product Management Network/Security at Kapsch BusinessCom. Kapsch BusinessCom has been a member of the airlock partner programme since the beginning of 2009. This collaboration means that Kapsch employees, as certified airlock experts, have extensive and solid know-how when it comes to handling the phion security solution.

Airlock guarantees security at all levels
As airlock systematically controls and filters all access attempts at all levels, the phion solution offers the highest possible level of security. By combining various security measures (enforcement, negatives & positives security model), the system offers comprehensive protection not only for known, but also for unknown methods of attack. airlock also has a highly flexible identity and access management feature and can be simply integrated into existing environments. The extensive monitoring and reporting functions offer access to all relevant information.

Swiss banks choose airlock
This high level of security means that airlock enjoys equally high acceptance, especially in such “ultra-sensitive” areas as e-banking: the phion solution is currently in use at nine out of ten Swiss banks. For online shops as well, web applications protected by airlock are “monitored” around the clock. All attempts to access web applications are systematically controlled and filtered at various levels. Only authorised connections are allowed; unauthorised attempts at access or manipulation are automatically identified and blocked in fractions of a second. The system also ensures ideal availability.
