Is Your ID Secure? |
Top |
Identity Theft is a growing epidemic in today's world. Almost every person in the world knows of someone who has had their identity stolen and has had to go through the long painful process of proving the theft and regaining their identity. Recently an article was released on MSNBC.com that explains how certain types of companies are targeted and why. In many cases you will be surprised at the results but if nothing else it should give each person pause before making that next purchase or opening their next account.

Who Has Access to Your Computer Network? |
Top |
In today’s connected world, employees, guests, contractors, students, faculty and staff connect to your network every day with their PC's, PDA's and other wired and wireless devices. This makes controlling access to your network a serious and complex issue.
Anti-virus software protects individual computers on your network. Identity and access management systems control access to specific applications. Firewalls defend you from internet threats. But only network access control (NAC) solutions protect your network from every device using your network every day. And NAC does it automatically, eliminating the task from your help desk and IT staff.
Bradford Networks’ solution (now available from IND) includes three key integrated functions to ensure that network access is controlled. These are Identity Management - who’s on your network; Endpoint Compliance - what device is connecting; and Usage Policy Enforcement - all the usage rules and what to do when someone’s not playing by them.
How NAC Can Help
When Bradford finds a suspect user or device, it does something remarkable; it commands your existing switches to enforce your access control policies, acting like a super-smart security guard. And it does so automatically and with no impact on your network’s performance.
Bradford’s “out-of-band” NAC appliances sit completely outside the data path, so they can enforce your security policies at the edge of the network, where they’re most effective.
After all, wouldn’t you rather stop your intruders when they step onto your property, not after
they’ve broken in to your house?
