Distribution of application proxies in the network

Application proxies do not have a backend database. They are added to a solution in order to run agents in environments without VPN tunnels configured between their sites, where all Bravura Security Fabric nodes cannot reach all target systems.

An application proxy allows for a single port to be open in firewalls (any port), even different for different proxies. For security reasons it is useful to add an application proxy which makes a single obscure port between subnets and data centers, instead of opening the many ports required for integration with target systems. Actual application ports are known to hackers and often targeted to penetrate network security.
