Security

Network Admission Control

With today’s changing security landscape, multiple security devices working independently are no longer sufficient. Businesses looking for complete security need a more comprehensive and integrated security solution, like Network Admission Control (NAC) developed by Cisco.

NAC allows organizations to ensure policy compliance, minimize internal and external threats, secure their information and assets, and reduce exploitation of vulnerable networks. By implementing NAC, organizations cut significant spending on reactive threat control, and see a quantifiable return on investment.

BlueWater Network Admission Control solutions are built around:

• Cisco NAC Appliance
• 802.1X authentication
• Secure client software

Threat Control

It is increasingly important for organizations to implement comprehensive and integrated security solutions, as independently operating solutions of the past are becoming less effective against more intelligent attacks and malware.

When employed, the threat control solutions enhance general security and give network operators more power to investigate and halt advanced threats.  BlueWater threat control solutions protect servers, applications, and other critical assets from network and application attacks and worms, at the edge, branch, data center, and throughout the LAN.

BlueWater Threat Control solutions include:

• Network Intrusion Prevention Systems
• Network Admission Control
• Cisco Security Agent for Desktops and Servers
• Adaptive Security Appliance
