Examples of the Powerful Simplicity of the BorderGuard Management Console

• Red List Terminates Unique Users, Groups - Developed by Blue Ridge Networks, Red List suspends or terminates specific remote users or groups without invalidating their digital certificates. This feature is particularly valuable when organizations employ certificate authorities that are managed by another organization. Red List can even terminate already-connected users with no disruption to the rest of the users online.
• Speed and flexibility in PKI deployment and management - The BorderGuard Management Console includes its own certificate authority and works with external CAs, e.g. X.509, for creating, distributing, and revoking digital certificates. A BorderGuard-powered network will operate with already-installed PKI systems or in a hybrid scenario for additional flexibility.
• Auto-Broadcast Changes - Typical VPNs require hours to update all of the nodes when even the smallest changes are made. The BorderGuard Management Console broadcasts changes throughout the network to all nodes instantly and automatically - saving valuable time and eliminating the risk of configuration errors or forgetting to change nodes.
