Identity-Aware Access
vs. Network Extension
eWon creates a hardware backdoor. Agilicus AnyX replaces the need for one.
Discover why Layer 7 precision beats Layer 3 connectivity for modern security.
The Fundamental Difference
The choice between Agilicus and eWon is a choice between Application Access and Network Connectivity.
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.
eWon (Layer 3)
Connects devices. Great for pinging servers, but creates lateral movement risks. Requires additional tools for application-level security.

*With eWon, if a user device is compromised, the attacker has network-level visibility (ping, scan) of the target. With Agilicus, they see nothing but the specific web app authorised.

Hardware Dependency
Does it require new physical hardware?
Software Only
Installs on existing IPCs and PLCs.
Hardware Required
Requires a new physical box on-site.
Network Layer Security
What level of access is granted?
Layer 7 (Zero Trust)
Precise, identity-aware microsegmentation.
Layer 3 (Network)
Broad access to the entire subnet.
Authentication
How do users log in?
Single Sign-On
Bring your own identity (Entra ID, Google).
Separate Accounts
Requires creating and managing new credentials.
Audit & Visibility
What level of activity is logged?
File-Level Precision
Who did what, down to the exact file or command.
Session Level
Only logs who connected to the site.
Granular Authorisation
How specific can access rules be?
Read-Only / Roles
Limit actions (e.g., read-only VNC).
All or Nothing
Network access gives full protocol control.
Overlapping IPs
Can users access multiple sites with identical IP ranges simultaneously?
Yes
Seamless multi-site access without conflicts.
No
Layer 3 routing conflicts prevent simultaneous access.
Network Bypass
Does it bypass your existing perimeter security?
No (Outbound Only)
Works with existing next-gen firewalls via TLS.
Yes (Cellular Backdoor)
Creates a bypass that undermines existing firewalls.
SIEM Integration
Can it send logs to your security tools?
Native Integration
Works with Microsoft Sentinel, Graylog, Splunk.
Limited / None
Harder to integrate with enterprise SOC workflows.
Data Pricing
Is there a cost per byte of data?
Unlimited Data
Predictable pricing with no data caps.
Metered Data
Variable pricing based on data usage.
Clientless Universal Access
Stop managing VPN clients. Agilicus AnyX works on any device with a browser—desktop, tablet, or phone.
- Ideal for contractors & BYOD
- No MDM required
- Zero friction onboarding
Granular Authorisation
Don’t just grant network access. Control exactly what users can do inside the application.
- Restrict specific URLs
- Control file share access
- Stop password stuffing attacks
Network Simplification
Solve the hardest networking problems without re-architecting your infrastructure.
- Outbound-only (Starlink/CGNAT)
- Overlapping IP support
- Multi-IdP Single Sign-On
