Check Point NAC: Proven Network Access Control

Security managers today have a mandate to prevent the theft or exposure of private customer data, and many must also be able to give auditors reports proving that due care has been taken to secure that information. Enforcing an access policy on all PCs that connect to the network has become recognized as one of the best ways to defend against the malware and other endpoint-related attacks used to compromise confidential information. However, the potential network disruption and added management complexity of most network access control (NAC) approaches has limited adoption of the technology.

Check Point NAC protects enterprises from the risks of unsafe PCs connecting to their networks. But unlike other solutions, it makes maximum use of existing investments in firewalls, VPNs, switches, and endpoint security. Check Point uses Cooperative Enforcement™ technology to pre-integrate its products with those of its OPSEC partners and many other networking and security vendors. The result is more cost-effective and non-disruptive NAC deployments.

Both before and after granting network access to an endpoint, Check Point NAC enforces policies that can require up to date antivirus, antispyware, firewall rules, and software patches; specific application versions and registry entries; and other criteria. It quarantines unsafe employee PCs and brings them into compliance automatically, without involving end users. Check Point NAC also restricts network access by contractors, customers, and unknown guest users, mitigating the risks posed by unmanaged PCs.

For more than 5 years, enterprises worldwide have used mature and proven Check Point NAC solutions. Check Point supports industry standards such as 802.1x that don't lock an enterprise into one vendor's networking equipment or software. All the Check Point products used for network access control can be managed from a single management platform. Unified management makes the solution efficient to administer, and it provides consistent and complete connectivity and security event reports for auditors and executives.
