Total Access Protection
Check Point and Infoblox

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. While several proprietary (vendor specific) initiatives address this problem, only one standard exists that is widely supported by heterogeneous networking devices: 802.1X/EAP.

InfoBlox and Check Point have tested and certified interoperability of a joint solution to automatically isolate infected endpoints prior to granting network access. The joint solution is based on Infoblox RADIUS-1 and the Check Point Integrity endpoint security. By leveraging RADIUS communication with 802.1X-capable networking devices, the solution quarantines non-compliant endpoints in a "remediation" VLAN, while compliant endpoints are granted full network access rights.

Benefits

• Automated quarantine of infected endpoints
• Automatic enforcement of corporate security standards
• Standards-based approach (802.1X/EAP), enabling deployment across a heterogeneous network

InfoBlox RADIUS-1
As networks continue to grow, managing who gets on the network is becoming increasingly critical and complex for network administrators. RADIUS, a network service essential in authenticating and authorizing users on the network, has been cumbersome to deploy. Traditional solutions have introduced significant security risks, reliability issues, and management overhead into the network.

RADIUSone appliances are designed to provide the foundation for next-generation network identity services in a secure and easy-to-manage implementation. The hardened appliance design and intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) simplify the application and administration of network AAA services. RADIUSone works with existing enterprise network-access equipment from a variety of vendors out of the box, and it easily scales and adapts to meet future network requirements.

Features

• Hardened appliance design for secure RADIUS delivery
• User administration via intuitive web GUIQuick installation and intuitive
• Secure management
• Interoperable with a wide variety of vendors' equipment through pre-loaded dictionaries
• On-board help and diagnostics

Check Point Integrity
Check Point Integrity is a best-in-class, client/server endpoint security solution that combines Check Point's patented, multilayered PC firewall technology with efficient, central policy management controls.
