668 Configuring SODA endpoint security for a WSS
NN47250-500 (Version 03.01)
•Connection Control – Controls network connections based on Domain, IP address, Port, and Service. For example,
Connection Control can prevent a Trojan from sending out a confidential document, downloaded legitimately
through an SSL VPN tunnel, to a malicious e-mail server (SMTP) using a second network tunnel.
•Adaptive Policies – Sense the type and location of device and adjusts access based on endpoint parameters such as
IP range, registry keys, and DNS settings
The SODA endpoint security modules are configured through Sygate On-Demand Manager (SODA Manager), a
Windows application. SODA Manager is used to create a SODA agent, which is a Java applet that is downloaded by
client devices when they attempt to gain access to the network. Once downloaded, the SODA agent runs a series of
security checks to enforce endpoint security on the client device.
