On a CloudGen Firewall, the CloudGen Access Proxy can be configured to run as a service that brings secure access to your network resources. Unlike a VPN, the CloudGen Access service provides secure access to enterprise resources on a per-user / per-device basis without the drawback of giving a user total access to a complete private network.

As part of three main components, the CloudGen Access Proxy is the instance that effectively grants or denies access to the flow of packets between an access app and a special network resource.
