Portnox Announces New NAC-as-a-Service, Portnox CLEAR App for the Palo Alto Networks Application Framework
Portnox,
a market leader for network visibility, access control and device risk
management solutions, today unveiled its Portnox (News - Alert) CLEAR app for the Palo
Alto Networks® (NYSE: PANW) Application
Framework. The app will offer Palo Alto (News - Alert) Networks Application
Framework customers a complete view of the network, ability to control
the risk by coping with threats in real time, as well as increased
visibility into devices - including Bring Your Own Device (BYOD),
Internet of Things (IoT), mobile and managed devices, anywhere in the
world.
Consuming cybersecurity innovations has become an arduous process.
Organizations waste time deploying new sensors every time they want to
collect a new piece of data and managing point products rather than
improving security controls to stay ahead of attackers. The Palo Alto
Networks Application Framework makes it easy to add new security
capabilities quickly and efficiently. The framework extends the
capabilities of the Palo Alto Networks Security Operating Platform, with
a suite of APIs that developers can use to connect innovative apps with
rich data, threat intelligence and enforcement points. Organizations
gain immediate security value from apps developed by an open ecosystem
of trusted innovators.
CLEAR
is Portnox's NAC-as-a-Service cloud solution, offering network
administrators obust network and cloud access controls, visibility and
risk monitoring capabilities. CLEAR augments network security by
providing continuous endpoint visibility, including real-time risk
assessments in all locations, discovery and visibility of IoT and BYOD
devices. Portnox CLEAR generates unique risk scores for each device
based on the security configuration and posture of the device in
conjunction with contextual behavior patterns, whether a device is on or
off premise, over wired, VPN or wireless networks. As part of the
Application Framework, the Portnox CLEAR app will enable customers to
monitor a network or endpoint threat indications from the Framework,
update the risk score of devices, and, based on policy, automatically
authorize or block devices from accessing the network.
