Bradford’s Adaptive Network Security Platform addresses a number of critical challenges for today’s IT organizations, including Visibility, Security, Control, Reporting/Compliance, and Integration.
Challenge
Description
Visibility
Total visibility of all network users and endpoint devices, including monitoring and tracking of network access activity both in real-time and historical views.
PCs, laptops, PDAs, IP Phones, all known/authorized devices, “rogue” (unauthorized) devices
Monitoring and tracking all network access activity
Security
Detection of all users and devices accessing the network, with ability to prevent unauthorized access. Dynamic enforcement of security policies and validation of endpoint security posture.
Automatic discovery of all users and devices attempting to connect
Registration of all authorized users and devices
Protection against unauthorized network access
Dynamic enforcement of security policies for all users and devices
Scanning of endpoint devices to validate security posture
OS patches, AV/AS software, required/prohibited applications
Automated actions for “quarantining” (and remediating) non-compliant users and devices
Control
Provisioning of network access privileges and management of network and security infrastructure. Profiling and classification of endpoint devices, with dynamic enforcement of role-based access.
Detailed logging and reporting of all network access activity
Real-time and historical data on all network users and devices
Reduced burden on IT staff for regulatory compliance
Integration
Ability to leverage existing investments in network and security infrastructure, and to correlate information from various systems to maximize security and control.
Integration with an extensive range of network and security systems
Switches, wireless controllers, IDS/IPS, endpoint OS, AV/AS , etc.
Ability to support customizable integration to adapt to any network
Investment protection for other network and security systems
Correlation of information to enhance overall security and control
Flexible, out-of-band implementation to eliminate “bottlenecks” or “single points of failure”
