Security
Bradford Networks is dedicated to delivering advanced network access control solutions for wireless, wired and VPN networks. Bradford NAC appliances deliver the three key elements of effective NAC solutions – identity management, endpoint compliance and usage policy enforcement – using an advanced out-of-band architecture that leverages existing network infrastructures and investments. Bradford Networks provides endpoint compliance, quarantine, and device registration that support remote, LAN and wireless access in a single system, without duplicating policy.
Bradford Networks products that are interoperable with Aruba infrastructure include Campus Manager and NAC Director. For more information about Bradford Networks visit www.bradfordnetworks.com.
Bradford Networks and Aruba
Bradford NAC solutions work seamlessly with Aruba infrastructure to give enterprises advanced identity management, endpoint compliance and usage policy enforcement capabilities. This enables effective policy enforcement at the point of connection for each user and client device. The combination of Bradford Networks and Aruba infrastructure implements role-based VLANs to connect valid users to network resources, while non-compliant users are placed in a quarantine VLAN for self-remediation. Policy compliance is assessed before admission to the network and throughout the life of the session, to ensure ongoing security. The result is precise control over user access that leverages the network the enterprise already owns and ensures maximum access control and reliability.
The solution has broad application throughout enterprise, education and government networks, where employee, guest, contractor or student machines must be registered, scanned and found compliant before they are admitted to the network. IT teams working to meet regulatory compliance requirements such as HIPAA, PCI or Sarbanes Oxley will benefit from comprehensive device registration, user authentication and detailed historical logging, tracking and reporting capabilities.
Designed for highly scalable and vendor diverse environments, Impulse Point’s Safe Connect Network Access Control solution enables organizations to automate and enforce end user authentication, anti-virus, anti-spyware, Microsoft security patches, P2P file sharing, power management, and custom endpoint security policies.

InfoExpress and Aruba
InfoExpress and Aruba Networks have joined forces to provide a clear path to total network access control (NAC). Combining InfoExpress’ CyberGatekeeper (CG) Dynamic NAC (DNAC) software solution with Aruba, customers can benefit from InfoExpress’ fifth generation NAC solution used with Aruba’s centrally managed system. The integrated solution performs audit checks every time an endpoint attempts to access the network and continuously when on the network. If a host fails one of these ongoing checks, CyberGatekeeper can automatically remediate that endpoint or be quarantined pending future action. The result is NAC with no network changes/disruption, assured client endpoint security, and no need to deploy 802.1X.
