Network Access Control

Fully integrated network access control for wired, wireless and remote access

Aruba’s integrated network access control (NAC) solution offers one of the most secure and fastest policy engines in the industry – the Aruba Policy Enforcement Firewall (PDF) – which delivers up to 80 Gbps of firewall capacity.

Whether wired or wireless, the Aruba NAC solution enforces role-based policies that specify who, how and when users may access the network. The Aruba NAC solution delivers many significant advantages in addition to ensuring a higher level of security and ease of NAC implementation:

• Operations and deployment are greatly simplified by utilizing the same configuration for every type of access method – wired, wireless and remote/VPN.
• Non-compliant systems and users are automatically isolated while automatic remediation is performed. There is no need to create a separate quarantined VLAN where non-compliant clients can communicate with each other.
• Aruba’s stateful Policy Enforcement Firewall allows dynamic policies and user roles. For example, when students move from a public area to a classroom, they may be restricted from activities like web surfing.

By unifying wired, wireless and remote users into a common network access framework, Aruba offers an unprecedented level of security, control and operational simplicity that integrates with existing NAC solutions.

Integrating seamlessly with existing network infrastructures, the Aruba NAC solution is non-disruptive to the network, applications, or access processes. With Aruba, the IT administrative burden is significantly reduced and the overall enterprise security posture is vastly improved.
