NetClarity NACwall

Protect your network from the inside-out with agentless technology from NetClarity.

BYOD is inevitable—what are you doing to secure your business?

It’s hard to not be curious about the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) phenomenon. The consumerisation of information technology is a huge topic for the tech world and businesses alike since employees are always connected via smart phones, tablets, and personal laptops. Nothing is going to stop this trend of bringing personal devices to work and trying to connect to the corporate wireless network; but it is up to you to know what this means to your business.

With no formal control or protection in place, devices connecting to your network could be unknowingly accessing malicious sites on the Internet that are designed to steal sensitive information (key loggers/screen scrapers) or launch a denial of service by communicating with a botnet “Command and Control server”. New malware is released every day that can infect devices simply by visiting a web page, and if devices are already infected then traditional firewall and intrusion detection/prevent systems are not enough to protect your network from attack. NetClarity NACwall detects threats originating from inside the network and quarantines or blocks those devices exhibiting suspicious activity.

NetClarity: BYOD made easy

NetClarity’s internal security NACwall appliances mitigate all of these major risks in the BYOD dilemma by:

• Identifying ALL network attached devices (wired and wireless)
• Limiting access to valuable resources
• Quarantining untrusted or unsecure devices
• Allowing trusted devices automatically

… And this is all done in an easy and granular way, so your network’s uptime and bandwidth are not compromised.

NetClarity: The Complete Internal Security Solution

One of the problems with Network Access Control has always been how to support the myriad of devices that connect to the network. Traditional NAC solutions would rely on agent technology that had to be installed on every device - this is simply not practical in today’s environment.

NetClarity NACwall is unique in that it can both detect and mitigate threats without requiring ANY agents to be installed on the end user devices. In addition it can do this without requiring the implementation of 802.1x, which is difficult to deploy fully and is easily bypassed.

NetClarity NACwall provides the following features:

• Asset identification and classification in an agentless architecture:
  • Trust/Untrusted List, Disable Rogue Devices, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), and protection for all devices, from petrol pumps to barcode scanners, VoIP phones, Android and iPhone devices, Blackberry, tab-lets, desktops, laptops, critical servers, and more.
• Zero-day malware detection and protection with automatic quarantine
• Operating System (OS) Fingerprinting
• Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE) Detection
• Compliance and Executive Reporting (e.g. PCI-DSS)
