Network Access Control

Check Point and WLAN Partners

IT professionals are challenged to manage threats to network security caused by viruses, spyware, worms, and other malware. Infected or vulnerable machines should be automatically isolated from the network until the infection is removed or the vulnerability remediated.

Check Point has partnered with leading WLAN vendors to certify and promote joint solutions based on the 802.1X/EAP standard. The joint solutions-comprising WLAN switches and Check Point Endpoint Security software-automatically verify compliance with corporate security policy prior to enabling access to the network via the WLAN switches. Non-compliant endpoints are automatically placed in a remediation VLAN, where access is provided to remediation tools while shielding infected endpoints from the production network.

Benefits

  • Automated quarantine of infected endpoints
  • Automatic enforcement of corporate security standards
  • Standards-based approach, enabling deployment across a heterogeneous network

Aruba Networks
Aruba's WLAN switches enable enterprises to build scalable and secure wireless LAN networks. With support for up to 256 thin access points on a single WLAN switch, advanced intrusion detection and protection capabilities, and user-aware stateful firewalls, they comprehensively secure enterprise WLANs.

Aruba's WLAN systems incorporate sophisticated RF management capabilities that can be used for traditional ceiling-based wireless deployments as well as structured, high-performance wireless grid deployments and have been field tested by hundreds of enterprises in both deployment models.

Meru Networks
Meru Wireless LANs centralize security and management and distribute air intelligence to achieve a wireless network with high reliability, security, quality of service and scalability. The Meru Access Points and Meru Controller create a wireless network that allows enterprises to leverage their existing investment in wired infrastructure.

Compared to other WLAN products, the Meru System delivers five times the client density per AP, five times the voice calls per AP, and zero-loss handoff while roaming.

Check Point Endpoint Security
Check Point Endpoint Security unifies the highest-rated firewall, antivirus, antispyware, network access control (NAC), and remote access VPN in a single, centrally managed client. Unification of these five essential endpoint security components protects organizations from the broadest range of endpoint threats, including confidential data theft, viruses, and host-based intrusions. Check Point Endpoint Security is the only solution that integrates both NAC for endpoint compliance and a remote access VPN client for secure remote access communications. The essential integration of the highest-rated defenses in a single, centrally managed client eliminates the need to deploy and manage multiple endpoint security applications. This increases the range of protection and reduces the overall total cost of ownership by reducing overhead and providing operational efficiencies like no other endpoint solution.

Benefits

  • Defeats malware to protect against new and old viruses targeting confidential enterprise data
  • Stops unsafe endpoints from infecting enterprise networks
  • Ensures the confidentiality of remote access communications
  • Enables simpler deployment of essential endpoint defenses and remote access capabilities
  • Reduces total cost of ownership and complexity of managing multiple endpoint defenses
