BlackRidge Technology Transport Access Control vs Zentera Systems Cloud-Over-IP Access comparison

BlackRidge products include hardware and software gateways and software endpoints that implement BlackRidge Transport Access Control (TAC) with First Packet Authentication™. BlackRidge gateways and endpoints perform identity insertion, identity resolution and policy enforcement on network sessions. Identity insertion is the process that associates a network connection request with a user or device identity and inserts identity tokens into TCP sessions. Identity resolution is the reverse process by which a BlackRidge gateway or endpoint associates and authenticates an identity token with a user or device identity. Policy enforcement implements the provisioned security policy — forward, redirect, or discard — for the connection request to a protected resource.

Cloud over IP (CoIP) is the next-generation virtual overlay network that is secure, portable, easy to implement, and does not disrupt the existing enterprise network or perimeter security infrastructure. CoIP implements an overlay network for hybrid cloud applications that enables migration from the enterprise to the cloud while shielding applications running in a hybrid cloud environment. In sum, CoIP provides the cloud ecosystem with the security, ease of deployment and accelerated time-to-production that will drive widespread cloud adoption.
