Identity-Aware Access
vs. Network Extension
BlastWave creates SDP tunnels. Agilicus AnyX replaces the need for network agents.
Discover why Layer 7 precision beats client-side agents for modern security.
The Fundamental Difference
The choice between Agilicus and BlastWave is a choice between Application Access and Network Tunnelling.
Agilicus AnyX (Layer 7)
Understands Application layer like HTTP, VNC, SSH. Can block password stuffing, restrict specific URLs, and protect individual files. Users never touch the network.
BlastWave (Layer 2/3)
Creates Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) tunnels. Requires client agents. While it cloaks the network, users still operate at the network layer, adding agent management overhead.
