Enabling Secure Contractor Access
Dependence on contract workers is widespread, and these users need a greater level of LAN access than just basic Internet services.
The issues facing IT are:
- contractors need to be on the LAN
- contractor access must be restricted
- specific servers, applications
- contractors may use personal machines – need to protect against malware
- the same infrastructure should support contractors and employees
With ConSentry, controlling where contractors can go on the LAN is easy to enable within your network access control project. With the LANShield platforms, you can:
- automatically recognize contractors coming onto the LAN
- automatically apply access controls based on various contractor roles
- scan contractors’ machines – whether company owned or not – for malware using a dissolvable agent
- restrict which servers contractors can reach
- limit the applications contractors can run (such as allowing only key business applications and the application the contractor is helping to manage, for example)
And best of all, the ConSentry platform drops into your LAN without forcing any changes. Your users access the network the same way, and all your IT staff’s operations remain the same.
