Network Access Control

Within minutes of set up, you can solve the

dilemma by automatically blocking any device from

entering your network.

Over 80% of all successful network security attacks originate behind th

firewall. This continues to be fueled by a trend of employee-owned dev

es in the workplace, which are inherently more difficult to manage, and

more susceptible to malware.

Heres how BYOD can pose a problem:

Administrators lack the tools needed to give them both visibility an

control over all assets accessing their network.

Some have Mobile Device Management (MDM) or other endpoint

software on those endpoints that support it and have it installed.

This is helpful, but incomplete.

NetClarity provides agentless discovery and control of the remainder as

well as all internal network assets through a protocol manipulation tech

nology by simply attaching it to a network.

The set-it-and-forget- it mindset that applied to firewalls and wireless

security perimeters in the past is relatively ineffective in a BYOD work-

place. Here, the security threats are far more dynamic, with employees

inadvertently downloading malware by night and walking right past the

firewall the next morning into the office and connecting to the secure

wireless networks. Antivirus solutions, where installed, can help to mit

gate this risk through continual monitoring, but are only partially effec-

tive and not supported universally.

NetClarity minimizes this risk by controlling access to all internal netwo

devices and by assessing the health of these devices via its vulnerabili

and malware detection engines.

The need for a convenient access control solution for the BYOD workplac

Access control solutions have historically been a nightmare to

deploy, because they have depended upon one of the following

actions:

: Re-architecting the network by placing the

access control solution in-line with all network traffic, which

administrators hesitate to do because of the potential of

catastrophic downtime and the introduction of a new choke

point into the network;

: Extensive integration with existing net-

work infrastructure equipment like switches, RADIUS servers,

and firewalls, which is time-consuming and likely not to work

with all equipment in heterogeneous networks;

: Using credentialed access to end-

points or agents to be installed on endpoints, which means

that only certain endpoints can be supported (e.g., windows

devices, etc.), and this is also time consuming.

These options strain IT resources and budgets todayparticularly

in the midmarket, and are therefore impractical for effective man-

agement of BYOD. Here the solution must be both universally

applicable to all devices on the network, as well as seamless to

deploy and manage. NetClarity solves all of the above actions by

meeting the following requirements:

A plug-n-play solution like NetClarity provides relief to both the

implementation pain-point and the incomplete coverage pain-

point through a fourth option: intelligent protocol manipulation.



True agentless discovery and blocking

NetClaritys philosophy is that in order for security to be prac-

ticed, it must first be practical. By merely attaching the NetClarity

appliance to the network requiring protection, you can immedi-

ately discover all internal network assets and block untrusted

devices at will. NetClarity is the only access control vendor that

can accomplish this because our blocking technology is based

on protocol manipulation, which means that it is universally ap-

plicable and independent from agents, credentials, network in-

frastructure equipment, OS or device type. It is both agentless

and integrationless.

How NetClarity works in your network


RISKprofiler allows you to see a snapshot of your

network and the threats, vulnerabilities, and asset

risk levels.

The Manage Assets screen allows you to trust and untrus

assets that are trying to gain access onto your network.

The Command Center comes with all Enterprise

appliances and allows you to manage branch or

remote locations efficiently.

Manage assets efficiently

NetClaritys proprietary blocking technology enables it to

immediately block untrusted devices without dependence

upon any integration with network infrastructure or

agents. Detection and blocking are immediate.
