IT organizations have made great strides in providing “anywhere, anytime” access to network resources, and as a result today’s networks are easier to access and easier to use than ever. However, this can also mean that unknown, unauthorized devices can quickly and easily connect to the network – introducing significant security risks. So how can networks be “locked down” for security, while still providing easy connectivity for known devices? And how can network connections be monitored and managed effectively?

With Device Tracker from Bradford Networks, only known and authorized endpoint devices are allowed access to the network, and access policies can be customized for each type of device. By automatically enforcing those policies, Device Tracker ensures that each device gets access only to the designated resources assigned to it.

Unknown, unauthorized devices can be blocked automatically to secure the network, while alerting IT and/or Security staff of attempted intrusions. Device Tracker monitors and tracks devices that connect to the network, providing complete visibility of all access activity. This enables real-time detection of “rogue” devices with the ability to dynamically block them from the network, essentially “locking down” the network from unauthorized use.

Additionally, Device Tracker stores records of all activity, maintaining detailed audit trails and logs, and enabling customized reports to be generated for internal use, as well as for external reporting for regulatory compliance.
