SWANStor is there to help beleaguered CIOs!
You don't need any complicated network knowledge to get our system up and running. Creating a remote access environment is a breeze with SWANStor.
In addition, all of your valuable data, such as user authentication information, login information, and access control information, remains protected behind your company's firewall, so the system is uniquely secure.
None of your information exists on an Internet shared relay server; AreaBe offers live monitoring 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. All you have to do is set up a SWANStor server in your internal network environment in order to create a perpetual remote access environment.
Naturally, you have to consider an authentication method before you introduce a remote access system.
But this can mean more than just a username and password, or a specific person or terminal. Every company has its own philosophy or policy on what works best for them. Rather than deciding for them, we give them the tools to decide for themselves.
SWANStor provides a wide range of authentication options - for example, terminal authentication and one-time passwords - which can be combined to meet your specific needs. We're also prepared to discuss your needs and offer the options necessary to best meet those needs.
SWANStor isn't tied to any one application, device, or carrier. As long as you can connect to the Internet, you can use any number of web or client server apps with our remote access system.
SWANStor is available on smartphones and other mobile phones, as well as tablets and other cutting-edge devices, keeping the system up to date with the latest business trends and transformations.
Access to internal resources and applications can be limited according to user or group.
The administrator can set how long to wait before an inactive user is automatically logged out.
You can log in to a destination application immediately after logging in to SWANStor.
Users who fail a login attempt a certain number of times can be locked out or prohibited from using SWANStor.

The health of the system can be constantly monitored, and the system administrator can be notified of any errors or problems detected.

As you can see, SWANStor has many advantages compared to other corporate solutions. First of all, it does not require you to set up an additional firewall.
Further, SWANStor can be integrated without compromising your company's existing firewall. In addition, all information required for remote access, such as user authentication information, access management information, and logs, is stored securely on a local area network, completely protected from outside intrusion.
Other methods which bypass your firewall may allow outside access to your authentication information, creating security risks. Implementing the procedures necessary to protect against this risk can require significant money and time.
With our software, all complicated Internet gateway services are controlled and monitored by AreaBe Japan 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. All you have to do to maintain a secure remote access environment is install a SWANStor server on your internal system and protect it with your existing firewall.
Limit terminal access to ones distributed to and associated with authorized users. With this system, access is only possible with the proper combination of user and terminal.
Smartphones can be used as a one-time token.
When a user logs in, an image of their face can be captured and logged. This allows for easy user recognition and identification of suspicious activity.
All you need is a telephone. There's no need to purchase other devices for authentication purposes.
Logging in to Windows using an IC card allows SWANStor to use this for access authentication.
Our MDM (mobile device management) options provide an even higher level of security. These include limiting available apps and providing tools to remotely wipe devices that are lost or stolen. This is achieved by managing all mobile devices via the same network used for remote access.
This security software prevents stored confidential information from being leaked outside the system, providing extra protection for especially valuable information.
In addition to supporting shared folders in a file server for working document management (a standard feature), these files can also be shared online so that remote bases may also have access to the files.
We offer SWANStor Gateway Start Package for customers who has SWANStor Gateway on own DMZ, and operate and manage.
If it is difficult or impossible for you to install a SWANStor gateway within your company, we also offer a dedicated gateway service.
The login page within SWANStor cannot be customized, but with this option you can create your own login page.
Our engineers, support staff and partner will handle all the work of setting up your SWANStor system.
