Quality healthcare today requires efficient and secure network access by many individuals to IT networks.   Clinicians, administrators, vendors, patients, families, visitors, researchers and contractors need to access and share information while maintaining patient privacy in this regulated environment.

New network access control technology provides effective user and device visibility and control, along with detailed audit trails to help with HIPAA compliance requirements. Lancaster General Hospital will present a case study on how NAC is automatically ensuring that a wide variety of users with both managed and unmanaged devices receive role-based access to appropriate network services.

Learning Objectives

Learn how:

• NAC can help with HIPAA compliance.
• Increase security while reducing administrative burden.
• Enforce security policies using existing network equipment.

Despite a slowing economy, network access control (NAC) deployments are still on the rise. Why? Two reasons: 1) organizations are still investing in IT (in an August 2008 forecast, Forrester projects a 6.1% growth rate for US business and government purchases of IT goods and services for 2009) and NAC is a critical underpinning; and 2)emerging best practices and lessons learned have stabilized previously unsuccessful NAC deployments. This webinar will discuss these reasons in detail as well as why and how organizations are deploying NAC in today’s environment. Forrester will provide a scenario-based approach to maximizing NAC’s value and avoiding costly pitfalls. Key takeaways include:

• The current economy and its impact on NAC deployments
• How to identify the most appropriate scenarios for NAC
• Best practices on optimizing NAC deployments
• Mapping your business and technology environment to the right NAC vendor

Organizations can now automatically address suspicious behavior at the network edge and core.  By combining Lancope and Bradford Networks' robust security capabilities, organizations can continuously assess the hosts responsible for disrupting network performance and quickly quarantine offenders before any impact to network availability occurs.  Listen to a leading academic institution, Binghamton University, discuss how it has jointly deployed StealthWatch Network Behavior Analysis (NBA) for post-admission monitoring and Bradford Networks' Campus Manager for pre-admission Network Access Control (NAC) to enhance security, deliver policy enforcement and increase network visibility.

In less than 1 hour, you will learn how to:

• Gain real-time visibility at the edge and core of the network
• Isolate the root cause of problems on the network
• Proactively monitor for threats impacting network and application availability
• Enforce policy at the edge of the network, provides maximum security
• Promote network performance and availability
• Gain a layered, defense-in-depth security
