PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS APPLICATIONS
In 2020, attacks targeting business applications to steal data or hijack functionalities have increased by 600%. Traditional protection is not strong enough to deal with these threats.
Visual Guard secures business applications from the inside providing fine-grain permissions, monitoring, and threats detection. In case of an attack, Visual Guard automatically raises the security level to protect the data stored in the application.

User AuthenticationVerify user identities with various authentication methods |
Express |
Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|
Login/password authenticationUsers must provide a valid login/password combination before accessing your application. |
|||
Windows AuthenticationUsers must provide valid Windows credentials before accessing your application. Optionally, you can let users enter the application without asking for their credentials (see below "Windows SSO"). |
|||
Strong / Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)Highly secured, yet very simple for end-users: they provide their pin code or fingerprint, through an authorized device (mobile or web browser). It supports the most complex security requirements. Read more |
|||
Remote Windows AuthenticationUsers can log in your application with their Windows credentials, although they connect from a remote location (hotel, airport, public wifi, mobile Internet...). |
|||
Multiple Authentication ModeThe same application can accept several types of authentication. For instance Windows Accounts for internal users, login/password for external users, strong authentication for critical operations. Read more |
|||
Multiple Active Directories - Identity FederationReuse Windows accounts located in several Active Directories, no matter they belong to the same network or not. Security is centralized, although users are spread over multiple sites or companies. Read more |
|||
Windows SSO (Single Sign-On)Windows users can access your application without entering their credentials: Visual Guard automatically captures the current Windows account and applies the access rights granted to this account. |
|||
Web SSO (Single Sign-On)Users can log in once, and navigate across several websites without login again. No matter the websites are hosted in the same network or not. They just need to communicate with your VG server. Read more |
|||
Offline modeUsers can log in and access a desktop application although they are offline: Visual Guard works locally to authenticate users and enforce apply their permissions. Supports .NET WPF and Winforms applications. |
|||
Custom Password PolicyFor login/password accounts, you can customize the rules to define, renew, unlock, and expire a password. For Windows accounts, the current Active Directory password policy will appliesy. |
