Endpoint Security

Each new advance in mobile communications adds new dimensions and possible entry points to the corporate network. Each of these can be defined as endpoints.

With employees, partners and contractors as well as your clients accessing data and services from PDAs, remote VPNs and wireless solutions, the threat of network infiltration is now at a level higher than previously ever known. Any endpoint security weakness could effect business productivity and continuity as well as heighten the risk of information being stolen or altered.

To safe guard your organisation a pro-active security policy (linked to the security policy page when written) combined with an integrated multi-tier solution is required. An integrated solution can eliminate the threat and remove the ability for propagation.

Understanding the security posture of devices and users as they become attached to your network is a key requirement for a secure endpoint environment. This is best achieved through Network Access Control, a set of protocols designed to enforce network security policy across all attached devices and users, from they moment the join (or attempt to join!) the network. NAC is an open framework that can assess your network in its entirety and ensure no potential threat is ever connected, whether posed by a rogue PDA, faulty router or even a remote worker.

In addition to full security policy enforcement (linked to the security policy page when written) , NAC also delivers remediation solutions to network endpoints which fail to meet your internal policy criteria. A typical example of this is the automatic installation of patches or anti-virus signature updates on connected devices; with NAC this process happens before any connection to the core network can occur, ensuring no device can come online without first meeting all aspects of your internal security policy.

NAC can also fully integrate with all devices and can be implemented into your existing network infrastructure with minimal disruption.
