Zorp Gateway

Components of Zorp

Zorp consists of individual components; this modularity results in great flexibility. A typical Zorp gateway consists of the following components:

Zorp: Zorp is the application-level proxy gateway itself, inspecting and analyzing all connections.
Zorp Management System (ZMS): The central server managing the components of Zorp. ZMS stores the settings of all components (the implementation of the security policy) in a database, and generates the configuration files needed by the other components. More information
Zorp Management Console (ZMC): Graphical user interface for ZMS; the administrators use this application to manage the system. More information
Zorp Authentication System (ZAS): The component implementing the authentication of network connections. It mediates the authentication information between Zorp and the user database (e.g.: Microsoft Active Directory). More information
Zorp Content Vectoring System (ZCV): Content vectoring framework with several different modules (e.g.: virus- and spamfilters). It can inspect the data part of the traffic, even in encrypted channels. More information
