Wireless Endpoints

ENDFORCE Enterprise leverages standards-based 802.1x network access control for all wireless access.

Wireless access poses special security risks for enterprise network environments. Knowing that endpoints are connecting to the enterprise network through a wireless access point and being able to have a specific security policy that can be enforced based on this access method greatly reduces risk.

End-users want to have a common experience regardless of their access method to the enterprise network. Administrators responsible for security and network performance want to ensure that they can protect the network from non-compliant endpoints while providing a positive end-user experience. The ability to have different security posture requirements for an endpoint based on how it is accessing the network provides tremendous value and enhanced security for an enterprise.

ENDFORCE Enterprise offers granular policy definition and endpoint assessment based on user role, access method, endpoint status, and threat response availability giving administrators tremendous flexibility and control. Based on this assessment to policy, standard 802.1x access points can be used for enforcement of network access control policy.
