LAN Security for Energy/Utility Companies
 |
Utilities and other energy companies companies face a challenging LAN security environment. On one hand, these organizations have geographically diverse operations with a huge number of remote sites, mobile field personnel and a large contractor workforce. On the other, utilities and energy companies face pressure from government regulations that mandate high levels of security as part of the national defense. |
Utility and energy companies must evaluate solutions that will provide them with complete LAN security. The chosen product should be simple to use, manage and deploy. In addition to a product that is scalable and cost-effective, utility and energy companies should focus on a holistic solution.
Key features of a holistic LAN security solution
- Network Admission Control (NAC) - user authentication and posture validation
- Layer 7 visibility - ties all traffic to user for efficient incident response and reporting
- Identity-based control - role-based provisioning (separate access policies for employees vs. guests)
- Threat control - zero-hour worm containment
Key projects ConSentry can help address
- Provide differentiated access to network resources based on user status – guest, contractor, employee
- Block attacks such as DoS or worm outbreaks to maintain access to critical applications such as outage management, work management, and CRM
- Protect against unauthorized network access from wireless LANs
- Deploy Network Admission Control (NAC) without a switch upgrade
- Ensure only compliant devices get on the LAN, with third-party or dissolvable agents for posture check
- Limit or block “time waster” applications such as IM to improve productivity
