• To eliminate sticky client behavior while users roam, 200 series APs feature patented ClientMatch technology, which continuously gathers session performance metrics from mobile devices.

• If a mobile device moves away from an AP or if RF interference impedes performance, ClientMatch automatically steers the device to a better AP.

• ACC lets WLANs perform at peak efficiency by minimizing interference from 3G/4G LTE networks, distributed antenna systems and commercial small cell/femtocell equipment.

• The 200 series APs support priority handling and policy enforcement for unified communication apps, including Microsoft Lync with encrypted videoconferencing, voice, chat and desktop sharing.

ClearPass allows you to safely connect business and personal devices to your network in compliance with your security policies. It allows you to grant full or limited access to devices based on users’ roles, device type, and cybersecurity posture.

This solution leverages the next plan:

Identify

With this new demand for network access, the burden on your IT department has increased exponentially and it’s not just laptops and smartphones that should be on your radar. IoT devices, printers, and even surveillance cameras are connecting to companies’ wireless networks.

ClearPass helps you identify which devices are being used, how many are connected to your network, where they’re connecting from, and which operating systems are supported. It gives you continuous visibility into changes on your network, including which devices are connecting and disconnecting.

When you need device-specific information, you can easily identify a device’s:

• Type and model name
• MAC address
• IP address
• NIC vendor
• OS and version number
• VLAN

Enforce

Enforcing network policies can pose a huge challenge to IT departments. When an employee wants to add a new device to the network, they often have to go through extensive IT protocols. They may even need someone from IT to walk them through the process.

ClearPass allows you to enforce policies during the onboarding of new devices without any involvement from your IT department – whether it’s a laptop, smartphone, or security camera. A built-in certificate authority lets you support devices more quickly without any additional IT resources.

Your IT team will simply need to establish your foundation of security and write rules that define:

• Who can onboard a device
• The type of device users can onboard
• How many devices each user can onboard

You can then enforce access a number of ways. You can use a portal, or you can use the more secure and preferred method that uses encryption in the authentication process. After devices are granted access, ClearPass uses active and passive profiling methods to monitor your network and keep it safe.

Protect

The health of individual devices connected to your network is an essential component of network security. With ClearPass OnGuard, your IT team can define the “level of health” a device must have in order to gain network access.

This solution automatically conducts critical endpoint health checks and posture assessments to ensure that all devices are compliant with your requirements (and industry best practices). It works for both wired and wireless networks.

ClearPass also offers a variety of third-party integrations (which we’ll touch on shortly). These integrations empower you to implement dynamic policy controls and threat remediation. You’ll have real-time insight into the activity on your network, equipping you to identify and address any threats that may present themselves.
After all, you have to be prepared to take action if you discover unusual network behavior. That requires establishing a unified approach that can block traffic and disconnect devices when necessary – even in the middle of the night.

Integrate

The right network security solution must be comprehensive and that often requires you to create a seamless solution comprised of several different platforms.

Aruba ClearPass Exchange integrates with over 25 IT partners – the vast majority of your current technology and security stacks - to ensure that every element of your system is working without issue.

These third-party technology systems could include:

• Firewalls
• Enterprise mobility management (EMM)
• Mobile device management (MDM)
• Security information and event management (SIEM)

Whichever platforms you use (or are considering), they will work with ClearPass’ REST-based APIs, Syslog messaging, and extensions repository. Your collective solution will deliver end-to-end policy enforcement and the visibility you need to keep your network secure.

CounterACT agentless technology discovers, classifies and assesses devices. CounterACT interrogates the network infrastructure to discover devices as they connect to the network. Our customers have reported seeing up to 60% more devices on their network than previously known. After discovering a device, CounterACT uses a combination of passive and active methods to classify the device according to its type and ownership. Based on its classification, CounterACT then assesses the device security posture and allows organizations to set policies that establish the specific behavior the device is allowed to have while connected to a network.

At ForeScout, we don’t believe in artificial barriers that limit your options and force vendor lock-in. CounterACT works with leading network infrastructure, third-party security and IT management solutions. It also offers flexible deployment and configuration options to match your company’s specific needs. Choose physical or virtual deployments or both, and centrally manage them with CounterACT Enterprise Manager.

Several features set CounterACT apart:

• Agentless: No endpoint agents are required for authentication and network access control, allowing CounterACT to see and control managed, unmanaged and IoT devices.
• Open interoperability: CounterACT works with popular switches, routers, VPNs, firewalls, endpoint operating systems (Windows®, Linux, iOS®, OS X and Android), patch management systems, antivirus systems, directories and ticketing systems—without infrastructure changes or upgrades.
• Security orchestration: Optional modules orchestrate information sharing and policy-based security enforcement between CounterACT and leading IT and security management products.
• 802.1X authentication, or not: Choose 802.1X or other authentication technologies such as LDAP, Active Directory, RADIUS, Oracle and Sun. Hybrid mode lets you use multiple technologies concurrently.
