Don’t overlook
The threat of internal network access
As a business you will probably refer to security in two scenarios, physical security of your premises and digital security, in the sense of the internet and protecting your business and its critical data from the criminals who could try to target you.
What is often overlooked however, is the threat that exists when people come into your building, it’s important that as a business you have an internal security policy in place for visitors and staff who may bring their own device, you shouldn’t just be allowing access into your network.
Bring Your Own Device…
Monitoring network access
When you have visitors, or internal staff using Bring Your Own Device, you should be consciously monitoring their access to your network, which is where our Network Access Control (NAC) solution comes in.
Aruba ClearPass in conjunction with Aruba Central provides a true Single Pane Of Glass with industry leading NAC, centralised management and configuration.
This allows you via pre-configured and configurable policies to determine what to do with the client or traffic when it hits the network. When a device connects the switch or Access Point interrogates the software and based on a large range of criteria including 802.1x, AD, MAC and Certificate authentication it will identify and determine the level of access to resources to allow that individual.
Likewise, if an unknown visitor plugs into the switch and the credentials cannot be determined you can choose to either block the port or allow standard guest access only- assuming an expectation that you are allowed to be here, however allowing only access directly to the internet, with no ability to see any corporate resource.
