The Network Sentry Foundation is the intelligent base of the Network Sentry Family with built-in network security and policy management software in a hardware appliance (or set of appliances). Its extensive feature set enables security policy management, configuration and enforcement and provides visibility to all network connections.
Manage Security Functions Through a Single Interface
Through a web-based administrative interface, the management console enables administrators to easily define policies, establish event criteria, schedule tasks and enable automated actions to occur. Grouping allows network devices, ports, users, endpoint devices and administrators to be grouped for easier management and for role-based assignment. Control features include the ability to locate, enable or disable devices by MAC address, IP address, location, and time. The Connection Log provides historical connection information to monitor and track all activities that occur within the system. A set of report formats provides on-demand reporting, while the standards-based database infrastructure provides the ability to quickly generate reports to perform trend analysis and to document regulatory compliance.
The Network Sentry Foundation, in conjunction with the any combination of Solutions and Extensions, provides a powerful, flexible, adaptable network security environment to protect network assets, enforce security policies, automate policy-based action, and simplify security operations.
