PROBLEM / SOLUTION
Sharing operational data with external analysts should not require opening your internal network perimeter. Agilicus AnyX replaces broad VPN tunnels with precise, identity-secured application routing:
The Operational Challenge
❌ Full-Tunnel Network Exposure: Legacy VPNs place external consultants directly onto internal subnets, exposing adjacent file servers, domain controllers, and OT assets.
❌ Shared Database Credentials: Using generic SQL logins prevents individual accountability and increases the risk of credential leakage.
❌ Complex Gateway Maintenance: Setting up dedicated on-premises data gateways or jump hosts creates licensing costs, management overhead, and performance bottlenecks.
The Customer Outcome
✅ Isolated Database Routing: Exposes only the specific SQL Server instance and database required, keeping all neighbouring infrastructure invisible.
✅ Identity-Centric Permissions: Access is tied directly to the analyst’s corporate identity with multi-factor authentication, replacing shared passwords.
✅ Comprehensive Query Auditing: Every query and connection event is captured in a verifiable audit trail for governance and compliance.
