Secure Your Network from the Inside
With the risks of unauthorised devices on the increase due to the invention of smart phones and 3G modems to name two, do you know exactly what devices are connected to your network and if they are compliant to your security demands? Increase your visibility and control by using a Network Access Control solution such as CounterACT from ForeScout.
Then there are the users themselves, you may want to restrict which parts of the network they have access to, know which files they have been deleting or take better control over the bandwidth they are using or social networking sites they visit. NAC should be considered again, plus LANGuardian by NetFort for it's powerful network statistics by user.
Or perhaps in the name of security you spend precious hours arranging connectivity for guests and contractors. See how easy controlling guest access can be with a NAC solution such as CounterACT.
So what about Spyware or Malware attacks? Many such software security issues will look at first glance to be normal Microsoft and Web traffic, hence technology needs to be able to look at the content to determine the exact nature of the threat. LANGuardian by NetFort Technologies uses deep packet analysis to spot traffic that looks normal but contains threats.
In the wireless arena AirMagnet is a leader automatically detecting dozens of wireless intrusions, penetration attempts and hacking strategies including rogue Devices, “stumbler tools”, devices sending unencrypted data and a host of potentially damaging security configurations. In addition once the AirMagnet tool locks onto an unauthorized/rogue or policy violating AP or station, it can guides you to its physical location.
For full network access control there is ForeScout’s CounterACT. CounterACT uses convenient policies to group users based on their access requirements, which also grants you faster and better control over guests. Its powerful discovery records exactly what devices are really connected to your network and removes their access if need be. When it comes to protection from hackers CountACT identifies deviant behaviour, interrogates all devices for security compliance and malicious code and can also control website access.
