Visual Guard Entreprise Edition Architecture

Visual Guard is a modular solution covering most application security requirements, from application-level security systems to Corporate Identity and Access Management Solutions.

Visual Guard is a modular solution, comprised of the following components:

VG Runtime

VG Run-time applies the security rules to applications in production.
It provides the access control functionalities (authentication, permissions, logging…).
It is composed of several .NET assemblies and exposes a detailed API.

VG WinConsole

The VG WinConsole is a Winform application.
Developers use it to define access rights to their applications.
To do this, they declare applications, permissions, permission sets and roles.
The WinConsole includes a Deployment Wizard, to deploy the security data in production.
It also includes the Permission Editor, to define dynamic permissions.

VG WebConsole

A Web application destined to Administrators and Auditors

Administrators use it to manage users and give them permissions.
Auditors use it to generate security reports or to review operations performed by users

VG Repository

The VG repository is a database that stores the security data (users, permissions, roles…).
This database is first deployed in test mode, and then in production, with your applications.

The VG Server allows an application to communicate with the repository.
The VG Server is used in the following situations:
- Complex architecture (the application cannot connect directly with the repository)
- Applications developed with technologies other that .NET or PowerBuilder
The VG Server is delivered with a specific administration console... read more
