The need for a convenient access control solution for the BYOD workplac

Copyright 2013, NetClarity, Inc. All rights reserved worldwide. NACwall, Inside-Out Network Security are NetClarity tradema

The BYOD trend is

growing rapidly in

the market.

BYOD trend brings external threats insideOver 80% of all successful network security attacks originate behind th

firewall. This continues to be fueled by a trend of employee-owned dev

es in the workplace, which are inherently more difficult to manage, and

more susceptible to malware.

Heres how BYOD can pose a problem:

Administrators lack the tools needed to give them both visibility an

control over all assets accessing their network.

Some have Mobile Device Management (MDM) or other endpoint

software on those endpoints that support it and have it installed.

This is helpful, but incomplete.

NetClarity provides agentless discovery and control of the remainder as

well as all internal network assets through a protocol manipulation tech

nology by simply attaching it to a network.

Traditional security solutions; dynamic threatsThe set-it-and-forget- it mindset that applied to firewalls and wireless

security perimeters in the past is relatively ineffective in a BYOD work-

place. Here, the security threats are far more dynamic, with employees

inadvertently downloading malware by night and walking right past the

firewall the next morning into the office and connecting to the secure

wireless networks. Antivirus solutions, where installed, can help to mit

gate this risk through continual monitoring, but are only partially effec-tive and not supported universally.

NetClarity minimizes this risk by controlling access to all internal netwo

devices and by assessing the health of these devices via its vulnerabili

and malware detection engines.

Growing demand for convenient accesscontrol solutionsAccess control solutions have historically been a nightmare to

deploy, because they have depended upon one of the following

actions:

In line solutions: Re-architecting the network by placing theaccess control solution in-line with all network traffic, which

administrators hesitate to do because of the potential of

catastrophic downtime and the introduction of a new choke

point into the network;

Integrated solutions: Extensive integration with existing net-work infrastructure equipment like switches, RADIUS servers,

and firewalls, which is time-consuming and likely not to workwith all equipment in heterogeneous networks;

Agent based solutions: Using credentialed access to end-points or agents to be installed on endpoints, which means

that only certain endpoints can be supported (e.g., windows

devices, etc.), and this is also time consuming.

These options strain IT resources and budgets todayparticularly

in the midmarket, and are therefore impractical for effective man-

agement of BYOD. Here the solution must be both universally

applicable to all devices on the network, as well as seamless to

deploy and manage. NetClarity solves all of the above actions by

meeting the following requirements:

NetClarity is not in line of network trafficNetClarity does not require any change to network infrastructureNetClarityis completely agentless

A plug-n-play solution like NetClarity provides relief to both the

implementation pain-point and the incomplete coverage pain-

point through a fourth option: intelligent protocol manipulation.



True agentless discovery and blocking

NetClaritys philosophy is that in order for security to be prac-

ticed, it must first be practical. By merely attaching the NetClarity

appliance to the network requiring protection, you can immedi-

ately discover all internal network assets and block untrusted

devices at will. NetClarity is the only access control vendor that

can accomplish this because our blocking technology is based

on protocol manipulation, which means that it is universally ap-

plicable and independent from agents, credentials, network in-

frastructure equipment, OS or device type. It is both agentless

and integrationless.

Access control made simple with NetClarity

A quick look at how NetClaritys solutions work in your network

Multi-layered internal defense system

In addition to blocking untrusted devices, our security appl

ances proactively scan assets for common vulnerabilitie

and exposures (CVEs) on a regular basis to help you proac

tively manage your security posture. As a third layer of de

fense, the appliance integrates its malware detection en

gine with the blocking engine so that asset blocking can b

automatically triggered if evidence of malware traffic is de

tected via a port mirror from the core switch.

Firewalls are no longer enough

to protect from threats stemming

from inside the network.


NetClaritys proprietary blocking technology enables it to immediately block untrusted devices without depend-

ence upon any integration with network infrastructure or agents. Detection and blocking are immediate.

Complete internal security with NetClarity

Asset discovery, analysis, and control

NetClaritys appliances are designed to protect your network fromthreats originating on the inside. Unauthorized devices connected

to your network make your organization vulnerable to malware,

viruses, and data theft. NetClaritys appliances detect, alert, and

block unauthorized devices from connecting to your network.

Vulnerability assessment

NetClaritys vulnerability scanner helps you identify the most ur-

gent patches needed to harden your network against attack. After

you run scans, detailed reports alert you if an attached device has

a problem, or you can simply block an asset if it fails a vulnerability

scan. These are very helpful in complying with requirements man-dated by HIPAA/HITECH, PCI, GLBA, and other security standards.

Zero-day malware protection

Quarantine or block malware-infested PCseven zero-day malware

that would otherwise go unchecked by standard virus-protection

software. Or NetClarity can simply issue an alert and you can de-

cide how to proceed with remediation.

Subscription services

NetClaritys cloud-based subscription service allows you to gain

access to zero-day malware heuristic updates, CVE tests, asset

fingerprint signatures, and firmware updates several times per day

to keep you continually protected in real-time.


RISKprofiler allows you to see a snapshot of your network and th

threats, vulnerabilities, and asset risk levels.

The Manage Assets screen allows you to trust and untrustassets that are trying to gain access onto your network.

The Command Center comes with all Enterprise appliances and

allows you to manage branch or remote locations efficiently.The Differential Report gives you the abili ty to show auditors

and executive management how your network posture has

improved.



Executive Summary: NetClarity can help solve the BYOD dilemma withconvenient Network Access Control solutions

Todays BYOD dilemma is fundamentally an access control dilemma, and a universally applicable

seamless product like NetClarity needs to be at the core of the solution. Antivirus and Mobile Device

Management software can complement and add depth overall, but from a security perspective a first

line of defense is needed. NetClarity becomes that line in the internal network by giving administrators

instant agentless visibility and access control over all devices. Its core technologies provide multiple

defense layers, and most importantly, a seamless access control solution in a world where NAC has

previously been dismissed because of cost and complexity.

NetClarity is an emerging leader in access control products and

technology because of our deployment-in-minutes architecture. We sellour software pre-packaged on industry-standard network appliances into a

variety of verticals in the mid-market segment. Our solutions capitalize on

two significant industry trends: the exponentially increasing threats to

networks from malware, cyber criminals in tandem with a rapid increase

in the number of employee-owned mobile wireless devices in the

workplace (BYOD); and the need to demonstrate that networks are in

compliance with regulatory agencies.

NetClarity sells its products and services through channel partners

worldwide.
