The Nevis Experience
for Helvetia

Nevis has developed a security portal that offers Helvetia’s customers, partners and employees single sign-on (SSO) access to online services. At the same time, the portal effectively protects such services against attacks.

Deployed as an entry gateway and web application firewall (WAF), the nevisProxy product from Nevis’ security suite Nevis interacts with nevisAuth to perform authentication, providing a solid base for the portal’s access management infrastructure. The security portal integrates web applications implemented in Java- or Microsoft-based technologies and running on several platforms into one strong security infrastructure that enables rapid SSO integration for additional partner access.
