NAC DIRECTOR ™ FOR HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENTS

Hospitals, patient care organizations, research centers, health sciences educational facilities, biomedical R&D, and other healthcare-related organizations have specific IT challenges that are effectively addressed with the Bradford NAC Director Solution. Healthcare establishments need to strictly protect sensitive patient data, research, and other highly confidential material. Tightly controlling access to the network is often a requirement. NAC Director provides a sophisticated registration and authentication tool that registers all users and establishes role-based access.

NAC Director’s policy enforcement capabilities also assist organizations in achieving HIPAA compliance by ensuring that patient information is secure and that network access is controlled. Forced user authentication ensures that only authorized users access the production network. Unauthorized users attempting to gain access to the network are blocked, avoiding potential breaches to patient confidentiality.

In healthcare environments, NAC Director ensures network integrity and assists in HIPAA compliance by automating the process of:

• Forcing all users to register / authenticate
• Automatically logging users out after a fixed time period or at the end of a work shift
• Isolating unknown users and securing the network
• Compiling a complete inventory of all devices within the network
• Enforcing security policies and isolating non-compliant devices
• Quarantining ‘at-risk’ devices
• Enforcing role-based access
