Oplon Secure Access 12.3.0
Oplon Secure Access 12.3.0 introduces enhancements designed to make remote access management even more efficient, secure, and simple. The new release offers improved Remote Desktop session quality thanks to Sharp Mode, more advanced password rotation control with the new Password Rotation Test Runner, and the ability to create Temporary Connections to quickly address issues on systems not yet registered on the platform. This update was made possible in part by valuable feedback from customers and partners, whose input continues to guide the solution’s evolution.
DDoS, Click Day, and Application Outages: Access Control and Dual Queuing for Enhanced System Resilience
Click Days are no longer about attacks, but synchronized legitimate demand that can collapse systems. Traditional WAFs fail: they protect the network, not backend capacity. Resilience requires managing real application capacity under extreme load.
The New Paradigm for Accessing IT Resources
Oplon Trusted Connections introduces a new approach to enterprise connectivity: connecting people to resources, not to networks. By integrating modern security with existing infrastructure, it enables secure HTTPS access without exposing the entire network, overcoming the limitations of traditional VPNs. Thanks to an intelligent application layer and the use of isolated containers, it provides granular control, compatibility with legacy systems, and integration with corporate DHCP and DNS. The result is a hybrid model that combines Zero Trust with classic networking, improving security, visibility, and management without disrupting existing operations.
Protection of Trade Secrets
The protection of trade secrets, such as know-how and strategies, is governed by EU Directive 2016/943 and the Industrial Property Code. To be protected, they must be secret, have economic value, and be adequately safeguarded through concrete measures. Formal confidentiality is not enough: demonstrable technical and organizational controls (e.g., access controls, encryption, tracking) are required, in line with GDPR and NIS2. Case law requires actual evidence of the security measures adopted: in the absence of such evidence, protection is denied. The focus therefore shifts from the theft of data to the ability to demonstrate the protection implemented.
