Networks and applications can no longer be viewed as separate from the business. To grow and sustain productivity, access to networks and applications must be open and pervasive, yet remain secure and controlled. As the demand for access to networks and applications increases, though, so do the threats and risks to business and productivity.
Today's networks not only need to effectively handle unmanaged devices and guest users attempting network access; they need to also address support for unmanageable devices, post admission control, and application access control, visibility and monitoring.
Juniper Networks' Unified Access Control (UAC) solution combines user identity, device security state and location information for session-specific access policy by user enforced throughout the network. Juniper's UAC is an open, standards-based solution built on field-tested, best-in-class security and access control products. UAC enables a phased approach to deploying network and application access control, leveraging existing enterprise network investments and deployments. UAC enforces policy at Layer 2 using any vendor's 802.1X-enabled switches or wireless access points, at Layers 3 - 7 using Juniper firewalls, or both. UAC expands access control to network traffic, delivering ubiquitous protection by implementing simultaneous security enforcement deeper in the network's core and outward to the network's edge. UAC delivers network access control, visibility, and monitoring, protecting the enterprise network and applications while reducing the cost and complexity of deploying and managing access control.
Juniper Networks UAC delivers:
Advanced network access protection
Application and network access control, visibility and monitoring
Simple, flexible network access control
Juniper UAC features coordinated threat control, an identity-enabled profiler, dynamic support for unmanageable devices, extended support for cross-platform endpoints, enhanced endpoint assessment and automatic remediation, and simplified deployment and use.
Juniper Networks Odyssey family of 802.1X solutions
Complete family of secure 802.1X access clients for the enterprise and government agencies
Provides strong wireless security, to fully protect network data and credentials
Easily deployed and managed enterprise-wide, for the lowest total cost of ownership
Juniper Networks' Odyssey Access Client is enterprise-class 802.1X access client software with full support for the advanced WLAN security protocols that you require for wireless access to your LAN. Together with an 802.1X-compatible RADIUS server such as Juniper Networks' Odyssey Access Server or Steel-Belted RadiusŪ, OAC secures the authentication and connection of WLAN users, ensuring that only authorized users can connect, that login credentials will not be compromised, and that data privacy will be maintained over the wireless link. (A specialized version of OAC includes a cryptographic module that has been FIPS 140-2 Level 1 Validated, to meet security requirements of government agencies.) OAC is also an ideal client for enterprises that are deploying identity-based (wired 802.1X) networking. OAC fully supports wired 802.1X connections, and saves time and effort by permitting one-time deployment of wireless and wired 802.1X access. The use of a single interface for both functions also simplifies user experience and reduces costs associated with user training.
