Portnox Gains Full Visibility to All Devices and Users Across an Enterprise Network with Cloud-Based Network Visibility, Access and Management Solution
Portnox,
a market leader for network access control and management solutions,
today announced the latest version of Portnox
CLEAR, a Security-as-a-Service (SaaS (News - Alert)) cloud platform that delivers
continuous, on and off-premises risk monitoring of all endpoints,
helping CISOs and network security administrators manage the health of
corporate and personal assets including IoT, BYOD and other mobile
devices at all times.
The benefits of flexibility, agility, and remote access brought by the
cloud are well known, but IT can't spend all their time monitoring the
network for vulnerabilities, potential hackers or questionable devices.
With Portnox CLEAR, an agentless technology, IT and network
administrators can benefit from:
-
Ease of use - With a pre set-up infrastructure, any complicated
integration can be enabled with a click of a button, even novice users
can complete a deployment without previous knowledge or training.
-
Continuous Risk Monitoring - CLEAR's portal can be accessed
from anywhere, anytime, on any device. Whether on-premises or in a
coffee shop, CLEAR identifies if the user disabled the drive
encryption, anti-malware or is not withstanding with corporate
policies. It assigns a risk score - like a credit score - and assesses
the threat they may pose to the network and acts in real time.
-
Risk Adaptve Access over the VPN - CLEAR offers a multi-factor
authentication approach over the VPN, enabling access not only by the
user identity, but also based on the device identity. Access is
granted only for low risk devices based on the organization policy.
-
Visual Dashboards - Provides full visibility and navigation on
the network with the following features:
-
See - CLEAR can detect and profile any device on the
corporate network in real time across all network layers; wired
and wireless network, VPN, virtual and cloud.
-
Control - Portnox can mitigate risks by taking real-time
actions such as limiting access, quarantine or blocking a device.
These steps allow IT not only to prevent risks, but also to
respond to them.
-
Automate - Portnox advanced technology delivers automatic
reactions, enabling IT to reduce time and cost associated with
manual responses. Whether the reaction is enforcement or
remediation, Portnox automates the response and adds the event
context into the equation.
"With BYOD and remote workforces becoming commonplace, combined with the
rapid explosion of IoT devices, networks are now more vulnerable than
ever and hackers will continue to take advantage of this," said Ofer
Amitai, CEO, Portnox. "We know how important it is for IT departments to
easily and automatically enforce software updates, compliance changes,
and allow instant detection of breaches and automatic remediation
responses. To address these issues, we developed Portnox CLEAR, a
cloud-based visibility and network access control solution."
Portnox at RSA Portnox will be located in the OATH Pavilion
at booth #1021, and will demonstrate Portnox CLEAR via a Microsoft (News - Alert)
HoloLens. When wearing the glasses, attendees will be able to see the
device information from CLEAR hologram augmented within real laptops and
IoT devices. Portnox will showcase how the company enables enterprises
to "see the unknown" and gain a "CLEAR vision" by continuously
monitoring the network to ensure company and personal information is
kept safe.
