 Network access control: Security for internal and external end devices 

Today network access control (NAC) is an elementary component of every network security concept. However, the phion management centre does more and turns NAC into a powerful instrument for endpoint protection. By managing security guidelines centrally the policies on endpoints equipped with entegra can be kept up-to-date and implemented.

The access functions in the netfence systems combine the benefits of IPSec and SSL-based access methods in order to guarantee the confidentiality of the data transfer at all times. In addition phion’s entegra also provides a powerful solution for protecting internal and external endpoints as well as for controlling the network access. netfence entegra supports the central management and distribution of security policies to all endpoints. By checking status both before and during the connection the product can ensure that only policy conform endpoints are granted access to resources. Additional functions also eliminate threats at the endpoint level, thus establishing a corporate-wide Network Access Control – without having to invest in the network infrastructure. Thanks to the smooth integration into existing, phion-based security infrastructures clients and policy servers can be both managed and monitored completely via a phion management centre. An Online Update Service by phion helps companies to control their antivirus and antispyware products and to check that their signature databases are up-to-date.

entegra provides an actively controlling security function in conjunction with the switch and by means of the 802.1x integration, in order to restrict or prevent unauthorised network access. The port security also makes it possible to assign guests in the network to VLANs which then gives them internet access, for example.

entegra
  • entegra office client: This client allows to easily manage and enforce security policies on endpoints located within the corporated network. It provides strong managed desktop firewall protection and repeated client health checks to assert ongoing policy compliance.
     
  • entegra global client: The ideal solution to secure laptops used inside and outside the perimeter. It combines connectivity friendly netfence VPN-based remote access protection with the extensive policy compliance checks and threat mitigation capabilities of the entegra framework. The entegra global client is the successor to the netfence VPN secure connector.
     
  • entegra VPN client: This solution is a VPN-only product that does not offer health state checking and auto-remediation capabilities. It provides limitless secure connectivity by means of an advanced user controlled personal firewall and a centrally administered VPN component.

“If we have to set up a new office or a home office at short notice or if a partner is involved in the catalogue production and requires live access to our systems, then the phion technology helps us to organise this quickly and easily.”

 Success Stories

  • Subsequent to a company-wide transition period, all subsidiaries and warehouses at Sanochemia (PDF) are now connected with the main offices via netfence gateways. If a connection fails then the netfence solutions automatically divert the data traffic to alternative lines.
  • While the implementation of the netfence solutions at Erwin Müller GmbH (PDF) was initially perceived as a niche-solution to protect communications, it is perceived today as a strategic instrument by the company.
