NAC DIRECTOR ™ FOR ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENTS

As enterprise networks become more dispersed, administrators are challenged with protecting network integrity while providing access anytime, anywhere. Organizations have invested heavily in their networks to prevent unauthorized access to data, but as business expands to include remote locations, home offices, hot spots in coffee shops, hotels, and other locations, the problem becomes more complicated. NAC Director’s comprehensive approach – which addresses all

Bradford works with enterprise customers across many vertical markets including:

Financial Services

With fears of identity theft on the rise, and increased concern about the integrity of online transactions, companies in the financial services industry – credit card companies, banks, lenders, brokerages, etc. – must protect the integrity of customers’ financial information. Regulations such as GLBA and the PCI Data Security Standard require organizations to take all necessary precautions to safeguard this data, including identifying threats and guarding against them, managing data access, and continually monitoring the effectiveness of policies and safeguards.

NAC Director automates the policies and procedures – such as user authentication, role-based access to network resources, endpoint compliance, and proactive isolation of non-compliant or compromised machines – that are key to protecting data, while maximizing network performance.

Insurance

Insurance firms must guard customers’ private healthcare and financial information, while ensuring that data is accessible to authorized users. To comply with regulations like HIPAA, and ensure network performance and security, they must implement robust network security policies and proactive approaches to stopping hackers and neutralizing worms or other threats that could compromise data.

NAC Director allows network administrators to identify security risks to sensitive customer information, automate network policies that protect data, and monitor network activity to ensure security and performance.

Publicly Held Companies

All publicly traded companies in the US are affected by Sarbanes-Oxley, which requires all businesses that come under the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission to closely regulate their accounting practices.

Financial controls are largely driven by IT systems, and as such, network administrators have a high degree of responsibility in ensuring SOX compliance. NAC Director helps to ensure data integrity, provide proactive approaches to risks, and effectively monitor and manage who is accessing data and applications.
