Abstract
Virtual private access systems and methods implemented in a clientless manner on a user device are disclosed. The systems and methods include receiving a request to access resources from a Web browser on the user device at an exporter in a cloud system. The resources are located in one of a public cloud and an enterprise network and the user device is remote therefrom on the Internet. The systems and methods also include performing a series of connections between the exporter and i) the Web browser and ii) centralized components to authenticate a user of the user device for the resources. The systems and methods further include, subsequent to authentication, exchanging data between the Web browser and the resources through the exporter. The exporter has a first secure tunnel to the Web browser and a second secure tunnel to the resources.
