Network Security
Network security encompasses a range of practices and technologies designed to safeguard data's integrity, confidentiality, and availability as it travels across your network. Comprehensive network security measures protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, cyberattacks, and data breaches.
Challenge
Security Vulnerabilities
The advancement of cloud computing and mobile devices has led to workforces becoming more mobile and distributed. Organizations concerned with data transmitted over the internet are more susceptible to interception and cyberattacks, increasing the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access.
Limited Remote Access
Employees may struggle to securely access the organization’s internal network from remote locations, which can hinder productivity, especially for remote or hybrid workforces.
Compliance Issues
Many industries have strict regulations regarding data security. Not having an SSL VPN could result in non-compliance with these regulations, potentially leading to legal and financial penalties.
Increased IT Costs
Without the streamlined access provided by SSL VPNs, businesses might need to invest in more complex and costly solutions to ensure secure remote access.
Solution
Enhance Remote Workforce and Mobility
This solution provides an essential enforcement point for organizations adopting BYOD, flexible working, and secure third-party access. With top-tier security, it reduces the threat surface, protects valuable corporate assets, and maintains user confidentiality even in public hotspots. It boosts productivity in minutes. IT administrators can easily assign identity-based privileges to end users and implement secure BYOD policies to safeguard corporate networks and data from unauthorized access and malware.
​
Integrated Advanced Security with Endpoint Compliance (EPC) and
Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)
This solution provides centralized, detailed, policy-based control over remote and mobile access to corporate applications and data, ensuring consistent security policies across thousands of unmanaged devices, regardless of location. ​
It offers a single web portal for user authentication in a hybrid IT environment, with built-in support for modern multi-factor authentication. Whether corporate resources are on-premises, online, or in a hosted cloud, the access experience remains consistent and seamless.
The VPN client installation includes the Endpoint Control (EPC) engine, which evaluates risks from users, endpoints, or applications before granting data access.
​
Secure Access from Unmanaged, Public, and BYOD Devices
The solution enables zero-trust access through HTML5 web agents compatible with any browser, eliminating the need for a VPN client. This convenient clientless or web access provides instant support for unmanaged devices.
​
It also offers a secure user portal for frequently accessed data types and implements Least Privilege Access security, allowing users and devices to access only what is necessary, similar to a "need to know" basis. By limiting exposure to sensitive network areas, organizations can prevent lateral movement of threats, securing resources without compromising operational flexibility.
​
The solution also supports special policies for mobile devices to protect data at rest. Authenticated users can securely browse, view intranet file shares, and collaborate within a secure browser environment.
​
Manage a Global Network
It provides distributed enterprises and service providers with a powerful and intuitive solution for centrally managing and rapidly deploying appliances across networks and clouds.
​
It offers a turnkey solution to ensure high business continuity and scalability with Global High Availability (GHA), and zero downtime during peak hours by dynamically redistributing a pool of user licenses to managed appliances based on real-time demand.
​
It also functions as a global data store, sharing user session states across the mesh network of the appliances in an active-active cluster. This allows for session persistence across data centers worldwide. In the event of a failover, users do not need to re-enter credentials, ensuring a seamless experience and maintaining productivity.
Benefit

Emulates in-office experience and maintains a strong security posture with an Always-on VPN.
​​
Prevent malware
-
Every device is interrogated by Advanced Endpoint Control (EPC) to prevent malware from entering the network.
-
Network access is granted only after EPC has verified that the device has the latest OS patches and is free of malware.
​​
Increase User Experience
-
It supports clientless zero-trust access via a web browser for convenient use on any public device.
​
Fulfill Compliance Policies
-
Comes standard with secure clientless (web) access to resources via HTML5 browser agents
-
Helps meet regulatory and federal compliance with FIPS 140-2 Level 2 certification

Challenge
Managing which devices are permitted on an organization’s network can be daunting.
​
As organizations face the exponential growth of mobile devices accessing their networks, along with the associated security risks, it becomes crucial to have tools that offer visibility, access control, and compliance capabilities to enhance network security infrastructure.
​
They need a system that can block noncompliant devices from network access, isolate them in a quarantined area, or provide them with restricted access to computing resources, thereby preventing insecure nodes from compromising the network.
Solution
Automated Whitelisting
Network Access Control (NAC) simplifies device permission by automating the whitelisting process for both LAN and wireless networks. ​NAC integrates with the existing servers to automatically authorize valid devices, eliminating the need for manual intervention. It also restricts unauthorized devices and optionally notifies administrators.
​
Firewall and Advanced Persistent Threat Integration
Security appliances that monitor devices and network traffic can send event-based alerts for administrative action. NAC can receive these alerts via email or syslog messages from various security devices and take immediate action when necessary. NAC can instantly restrict its network access if the device is flagged for malware.
Enforce Anti-Virus and Security Policies
NAC integrates with enterprise Anti-Virus vendors and leading patch management solutions to verify that endpoint security is active and up-to-date. This integration allows NAC to enforce compliance with security policies without using agents, restricting non-compliant devices at the network access point.
BYOD, Guest, and Consultant Registration
Easy NAC offers various methods for automating the enrollment of BYOD, guests, and consultants. These methods include self-registration and sponsor-approved registrations, allowing organizations to balance security needs with guest convenience. No matter which method is chosen, the organization maintains control over when, where, and how long guests can access the network. Least privilege access policies can be implemented to restrict guests to internet access and consultants to specific servers or network segments.
Deception – Hacking Detection
NAC includes a distributed Honey Pot feature that detects hacking activities across the network with near-zero false positives. The NAC appliance has an IP address on every protected VLAN, offering fake SSH, telnet, and FTP services. If any device attempts to access these fake services, NAC can immediately block the device and report the credentials used in the breach attempt.
Benefit
Enhanced Security
NAC helps protect against unauthorized access by ensuring that only authenticated and compliant devices can connect to the network. This is crucial for preventing cyberattacks and data breaches.
Visibility and Control
NAC provides comprehensive visibility into all devices and users accessing the network. This allows businesses to monitor and manage access in real time, ensuring that all devices meet security standards.
Support for BYOD and IoT
With the increasing use of personal devices (BYOD) and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, NAC ensures these devices are securely integrated into the network without compromising security.
Threat Response
NAC solutions can automatically respond to security incidents by isolating or restricting access for compromised devices, thereby preventing the spread of malware or other threats within the network.
Operational Efficiency
By automating access control and compliance checks, NAC solutions reduce the workload on IT staff, allowing them to focus on other critical tasks.
