The latest release of Rocket® Secure Host Access, version 25.1, released in March! And here's what we think our terminal emulation customers will want to know.
Rocket Secure Host Access is a security-first terminal emulation solution that provides centrally managed host access while integrating with your existing Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems.
With Secure Host Access, you can enable seamless host access through a desktop client, a browser-based web client, or a hybrid solution.
Secure Host Access includes features and capabilities from its foundational products:
- Rocket® Reflection® Desktop
- Rocket® InfoConnect Desktop
- Rocket® Host Access for the Cloud
- And Rocket® Host Access Management and Security Server
Secure Host Access is offered in three tiers, each with increasing capabilities:
- Pro – Includes Secure Host Access Desktop.
- Enterprise – Extends Pro with centralized management for Desktop clients, authentication, and authorization.
- Anywhere – Extends Enterprise with a browser-based web client.
