About Secure Gateway

Last updated: 6 December 2016

The Secure Gateway service provides you with a secure way to access your on-premises or cloud data from your Bluemix® application through a secure passage.

How Secure Gateway works

As displayed in the following diagram, the service works by using a client to connect to your Bluemix organization. Next, you add the service to your Bluemix organization. Then, by using the Secure Gateway UI or REST API you can begin creating your gateway by connecting to your client and creating a destination point to your on-premises or cloud data. To increase security, you can add application-side Transport Layer Security (TLS), which encrypts the data that travels from your app to the client. You can extend this security with client-side TLS, which encrypts the data from the client to the on-premises or cloud data. When you complete your gateway configuration, you can monitor the behavior of your gateways and destinations in the Secure Gateway Dashboard.
