Enabling Secure Guest Access
Most enterprises are struggling today to provide expected networking services for guests, such as access to the Internet, without compromising the security of their LAN.
The key issues are:
- visitors expect LAN access
- unmanaged computers can spread malware
- visitors should reach only the Internet
- one infrastructure should support guests and employees
ConSentry makes it easy to enable guest access as part of your broader network access control requirements. With ConSentry’s LANShield platforms, you can:
- automatically recognize guests vs. employees coming onto the LAN
- automatically apply access controls based on user role – "guest" vs. "employee"
- scan guest machines for malware using a dissolvable agent
- restrict the network zones guests can access
- limit the applications guests can run (such as blocking IM, for example)
And best of all, the ConSentry platform can drop into your existing environment, without forcing changes to the LAN, your users’ behavior, or your IT staff’s operations.
