Fireware 12.1 General Availability

We are pleased to announce the new release of Fireware 12.1 and WSM 12.1! These significant new releases are now available for download from the software download center. The highlight of Fireware 12.1 is the Access Portal, a clientless application portal that is available for SSO integration for cloud assets and internal resources via RDP and SSH. With the rate and notoriety of recent cybersecurity incidents involving compromised personal information, the marketplace for web-based authentication solutions continues to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate upwards of 10%.¹ The Access Portal is uniquely positioned to integrate into existing authentication markets to provide a clientless experience while encouraging strong authentication with existing SSO vendors or even providing MFA access (i.e. Google Authenticator, etc.) to the portal itself.

The release of Fireware 12.1 adds a bevy of networking, VPN and proxy improvements that allow the network administrator to focus on the network without compromising security:
