## The Fundamental Difference

The choice between Agilicus and eWon is a choice between Application Access and 
Network Connectivity.

![icon-authentication](https://www.agilicus.com/www/d82985c0-authentication.svg)

### 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.

#### Security Model Comparison

**Agilicus User**

HTTPS Only

**eWon User**

Full Network Pipe

Adjacency

*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.

## Why Modern Teams Choose Agilicus

Compare capabilities side-by-side.

Feature

**Agilicus AnyX**

**eWon**

#### **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

![icon-padlock](https://www.agilicus.com/www/c1324345-icon-padlock.svg.svg)

#### **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
