Identity-Aware Networking Done Right

It is very rare for the person who intends to disrupt the productivity of your organization to announce it beforehand. It would be nice but highly unlikely as a majority of disruptions are unintentional and caused by well meaning people within the organization itself. They may have provided a visitor access to your entire network and intellectual property, they may have accessed and viewed documents in a portion of the network that was not meant to be shared, or they may have visited a social networking site the previous evening and spread a malicious virus throughout.

In the past, the three scenarios described above would have required an IT department to implement separate solutions from multiple vendors for each issue. One might look at a guest access solution for the first problem, and then a second method to differentiate employee access, and possibly a network access control (NAC) solution to assess the health of each of the user's endpoints; computers and Smartphones.

The top 3 customer concerns:

Secure mobility within and outside the enterprise
Total network visibility - who, what, when, where
Compliance reports that track every user and every device

The Smarter Way to Solve the Problem

A single solution that allows you to build policies based on a user's identity and role, to dynamically differentiate the user's access privileges is the basis of Avenda's Identity-Aware network access platform. User level security with ability to check the health of endpoints at a later time takes NAC to the next level. Adaptive Policy Management is Avenda's phased deployment model for controlling network access on any network without the need for costly network redesign and upgrades or additional appliances.

Implementing and Adaptive Policy Model

A phased deployment model allows you to enforce the proper level of network control that is least disruptive to the user community. The use cases listed below target the top 3 security concerns mentioned above and allow you to secure your network, starting with organization's most vulnerable areas. Avenda gives you the ability to tackle network access and add further control when you and your network are ready.
