The Problem
Bitkoo’s mission is to alleviate pain‐points faced by IT organizations and make them more responsive to the businesses they support. SecureWithin™ is Bitkoo’s patent‐pending answer to the customer question “Now that I have this great internal application, how do I make it available to Internet clients?”

Without SecureWithin™ the options are many but also painful in terms of cost, time to market and security risks. It is not always desirable, feasible or cost effective to use VPN. VPN’s tend to open up the entire network instead of targeting specific endpoints. “Poking holes” in the firewall is a practice in use by many organizations and an invitation for a security breach disaster! Use of an application security appliance still forces you to make firewall and network configuration changes. In addition, you must host the appliance on your own DMZ infrastructure. To replicate internal systems to the DMZ and use data synchronization is neither secure nor cost effective. Each instance of hardware and software can run tens of thousands of dollars, with additional developer costs of writing and debugging data synchronization code, hidden costs of maintaining the software licenses necessary to keep the database, OS, directory, instances running, patching costs and security flaws related to customizations and synchronization code are just some of the major challenges.

The Answer – SecureWithin™
The solution allows organizations to expose non user‐interface endpoints such as web services, web applications, FTP servers, LDAP servers and many more to authorized remote users situated on the Internet.

The product allows for granular control over which endpoints are accessible. Controls what users/machines/networks are allowed access, and to which internal endpoints access is allowed. Get detailed reports about intrusion attempts, successful access, usage logs, and more. Protect even insecure internal endpoints with sophisticated payload inspection protection, so that you know they are only being accessed by authorized users. Expose: Web Services, Web Applications, LDAP, FTP, TELNET, Windows Communications Foundation Services (WCF), DCOM, Any Java based network application, .Net remoting applications, Any TCP or UDP port! - within minutes, securely and cost-effectively.

The product was designed with the following core requirements

• Provide Uncompromising Security
• No Network Changes or Firewall re-configuration (no “poking holes”)
• High Performance and Scalability
• Unmatched Ease of Use
• Low Cost (fraction of alternative approaches)
• Broad Platform Coverage (Windows, Linux, Unix, Apple or any other TCP/IP based platform)
• Deployment Flexibility (Optional new hardware and no client-side software)

SecureWithin™ delivers high performance and unmatched scalability with optimized throughput for persistent connections. The solution leverages existing security mechanisms without the need for duplication and supports any type or factor authentication. SecureWithin™ enables business with immediate results; any endpoint can be securely exposed, Sharepoint in minutes, web services, web applications, Exchange, AD, LDAP, FTP and many more at a fraction of typical deployment costs.
