LAN Security for Service Providers

A service provider's product is their network and securing their backoffice LAN that runs their administrative and management operations is just as crucial as their customer network. With contractors, guests and emlpoyees all requiring access the ability to differentiate resource access to each group is critical in safeguarding operations.

Service providers 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, service providers 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 LAN access for guests vs. contractors vs. employees
• Leverage and extend the life of existing network infrastructure (i.e., no switch upgrade to 802.1X) while providing Network Admission Control (NAC)
• Enable transparent operation to simplify pervasive deployment
• Stop worm outbreaks, maintaining network availability and business continuity
• Avoid tuning or maintenance – a “set and forget” signature-free appliance
• Ensure only compliant devices get on the LAN, with third-party or dissolvable agents for posture check
