Aruba ClearPass
The most advanced network access control platform on the market
Network administrators are faced with the challenge of supporting a huge range of different end-user devices. Overseeing the management and security of these devices can be a complex and time-consuming process. But that isn’t the only problem. With more employees than ever needing a corporate network connection from their personal devices, IT can no longer control all of the endpoints on their network, which only increases the onboarding and security pressures placed on IT departments.
So, how can IT gain an overview of every connected device? How will they decide on the level of network access each device and user are given? And how can they ensure their network is secure? Look no further than Aruba ClearPass –– a policy management platform designed to effortlessly onboard new devices, grant varying access levels, and keep networks safe and secure. ClearPass leverages several modules to deliver a comprehensive set of functionalities that cover network visibility, policy and access control, guest provisioning and device health checks.
The foundation for network security begins with device visibility. Aruba ClearPass Device Insight provides holistic visibility across the entire network by intelligently discovering and profiling all connected devices. This ensures that all devices, users and IoT objects can be granted appropriate access rights –– regardless of device ownership or access method. Device Insight identifies connected devices and gives IT a detailed overview of individual device characteristics, which enables organisations to build granular access policies, reduce security risks and meet key compliance requirements.
Visibility without dedicated control can leave organisations vulnerable to security risks. But, with ClearPass Policy Manager, IT can provide role- and device-based network access control for IoT, BYOD, and corporate devices across any infrastructure. Policy Manager outlines smart policies that regulate access to the network, automatically granting or denying user access rights based on device type, ownership status or operating system.
In addition, ClearPass Onboard supports secure self-service capabilities for BYOD use cases, making it easier for end users to access the network, reducing the need for dedicated IT support. Users can securely configure their own devices for enterprise use or internet access based on pre-defined admin policy controls.
Using ClearPass Guest, non-IT staff can create temporary guest accounts for visitors needing secure internet access. Highly customisable portals provide easy-to-use, mobile-friendly login procedures to support visitor needs across enterprise, retail, education or large public venue use cases. This saves time and ensures all visitor access is regulated and conforms to the network security framework.
In addition to visibility, access control and policy enforcement, IT departments must also deliver real-time threat protection to deal with suspicious and unhealthy network activity. With ClearPass OnGuard, network managers can set security and compliance parameters to ensure specific requirements are met, prior to devices connecting to the network. These advanced network access controls check the posture and health status of devices and offer outstanding safeguards against vulnerabilities.
Aruba ClearPass Exchange gives your customers the ability to integrate third-party technology –– such as firewalls, Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM), mobile device management (MDM), and security information and event management (SIEM) – with Aruba ClearPass. This allows several different security components to share contextual information in real time, providing networks with holistic end-to-end policy enforcement and visibility.
