Mirage NAC is helping our customers meet compliance needs as organizations across different industries struggle to keep up with myriad compliance mandates including PCI, HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, GLBA and more. Some of these mandates provide specific direction for network security requirements, while others are far more vague and require expert consultation to simply understand the requirements. If you’re under pressure to bring your organization into compliance, contact us for more about the policies, procedures, and technology needed to help you meet your goals.

Mirage enables you to control who gains admission to the network, ensuring that uninvited, infected, and out-of-policy endpoints are never allowed to access and harm the network. Our agentless Network Access Control technology performs risk assessment on all endpoints – regardless of IP device type or OS, irrespective of whether an endpoint is managed or unmanaged.

Reduced costs and easier management are cited as common reasons for businesses to implement Voice-over-IP (VoIP). But VoIP phone systems can be especially challenging from a security perspective, leaving holes and exposing your voice and data network to security breaches. IP phones are increasingly becoming targets of network attacks, yet most NAC solutions offer no answer to VoIP vulnerabilities.

Mirage NAC is the best line of defense for protecting the network interior, whether endpoints are connecting over the wired or wireless network. But typical wireless networks are more susceptible to attacks because they are often left open for guests or other unknown endpoints to connect. Mirage provides full-cycle network access control for all endpoints connecting to the wireless network, regardless of access point type. Policies can be enforced for connection method, user identity, endpoint compliance, endpoint behavior, and more. With Mirage protection, endpoints can connect to your wireless network with the same level of security provided for your wired network.

When every endpoint on the network is healthy and in the control of a trusted user, the risk associated with that endpoint exposing the network to malware is dramatically reduced. However, it’s quite common for intelligent, trusted users to utilize legitimate applications that introduce tremendous exposure, specifically to botnets. Examples include instant messaging and peer-to-peer file sharing applications. While offering a number of productive benefits, some of these applications require close monitoring to ensure they’re not a vehicle for malware. Mirage allows you to govern applications with a graduated response, starting with user notification and progressing to partial or complete isolation of endpoints.

Beyond offering the leading NAC technology, Mirage delivers the most complete network visibility and intelligence solution available. Mirage provides comprehensive device fingerprinting and ties this to endpoint compliance and behavior. Not only does this provide a view that is unavailable through other tools, it is also the path to a phased NAC approach, allowing customers to understand the implications of controlling access before enabling enforcement.
