LAN Security for Manufacturing Organizations
 |
Manufacturing organizations must transact business with multiple vendors, partners, suppliers, and customers, which entails opening up their sites to various guests and business partners, many requiring access to the LAN or Internet. Manufacturers need to secure proprietary client data but also provide their guests and business partners with access to only the information they need. LAN security is necessary, and needs to be implemented with sensitivity to a manufacturers' requirements. |
Manufacurers 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, manufacurers 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. contractors)
- Threat control - zero-hour worm containment
Key projects ConSentry can help address
- Enable role-based provisioning, so staff in different plants gain access only to the corporate data appropriate to their role
- Provide differentiated LAN access for guests vs. contractors vs. employees
- Protect offshore development sites from accessing sensitive internal data
- Secure and control file sharing in offshore sites
- Protect against unauthorized access from wireless LANs
- Stop worm outbreaks, maintaining network availability and business continuity
- Deploy Network Admission Control (NAC) without a switch upgrade
- Limit or block “time waster” applications such as IM to improve productivity
