TippingPoint Network Access Control (NAC)
The TippingPoint NAC solution enables enterprises to enforce device and user policies to ensure endpoint compliance and granular network compliance even after initial network entry.
TippingPoint NAC provides multiple enforcement options, including inline enforcement with the TippingPoint NAC Enforcer, and out-of-band options using 802.1x or DHCP, with support for various vendors and network topologies. The integration of device, user and IPS-based traffic classification and enforcement provides much greater control over network access and usage, reducing network vulnerabilities while improving policy and regulatory compliance.
In a TippingPoint NAC environment, access policies subject each device and user pair to rigorous authentication, authorization, posture compliance checks and enforcement. Non-compliant devices are directed to remediate based on policy class. User access rights are controlled through integration with existing rights management systems including Active Directory, LDAP and RADIUS. TippingPoint NAC, including the NAC Policy Enforcer and the NAC Policy Server, then interoperates with the TippingPoint IPS to ensure all malicious traffic is blocked from each endpoint and suspect or non-compliant traffic triggers other policy-controlled actions, including blocking, quarantining, alerting or rate shaping. Now, network and security personnel have unprecedented control over the entire network perimeter with integrated policy-based visibility and control of users, devices and traffic flows.
