An integrated networks system operatively connected to an internal web server configured as a private network device storing an internal website, operatively connected to an external web server configured as a public network device storing an external website, and operatively connected to a mobile device configured to execute a single browser, the integrated networks system configured to receive traffic from the mobile device sending a request to access to the internal and external websites, and the integrated networks system is configured to implement split tunneling to the internal and external web server, comprising:
a reception firewall operatively connected to the mobile device;
an external web application firewall (WAF) operatively connected to the reception firewall;
a reverse proxy operatively connected to the external WAF;
an enterprise mobility management (EMM) system operatively connected to the reverse proxy, wherein the EMM system includes:
a VPN-Tunnel system configured to validate the request; and
a proxy auto-config (PAC) system;
an Internet proxy operatively connected to the EMM system;
an external firewall operatively connected to the Internet proxy, and operatively connected to the external web server;
an internal WAF operatively connected to the EMM system; and
an internal firewall operatively connected to the internal WAF and to the internal web server,
wherein the PAC system is configured to choose one of the Internet proxy and the reverse proxy,
wherein the internal firewall, the reception firewall, the external and internal WAFs, the EMM system, the Internet proxy, and the reverse proxy are configured to implement a secure split tunneling of the mobile device to the internal and external web servers, and
wherein a single browser connection is established between the mobile device and one of the internal and external web servers, thereby permitting access by the mobile device to one of the internal and external websites using only the single browser by the secure split tunneling.
