Network Access Control (NAC)
The modern workplace is overloaded with laptops, smartphones, tablets, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, increasing vulnerabilities and operational complexity as each employee typically uses around three devices. Identifying and controlling network access is the first crucial step in securing your enterprise, ensuring that only authorised users and devices connect. Real-time threat protection and compliance are equally vital.
As IoT devices proliferate on both wired and wireless networks, IT’s focus is shifting. While many organisations secure their wireless networks, they often overlook the security of wired ports in conference rooms, behind IP phones, and in printer areas. Wired devices like sensors, security cameras, and medical devices require special attention due to potential security gaps. As they may lack inherent security features and demand access from external sources, they introduce new risks.
To regain control, IT needs powerful tools to swiftly manage the infrastructure and control network access for all IoT and mobile devices, whether known or unknown. Today’s network access security solutions must provide comprehensive capabilities, such as:
Visibility and profiling
Policy enforcement
Guest access
BYOD onboarding
This approach offloads IT, enhances threat protection, and improves the user experience.
Aruba ClearPass offers a solution that delivers agentless visibility and dynamic role-based access control. It ensures seamless security enforcement and response across both wired and wireless networks, empowering IT to maintain control effectively.
