NAC Solution

Secure your network with MetaAccess NAC (formerly Impulse SafeConnect)

Many organizations are faced with the ever-increasing onslaught of unknown Devices accessing their critical infrastructure. Employees customers contractors guests suppliers and their Devices are all potential threat vectors representing a challenge to implement network security policies without inhibiting business productivity. There is also the daunting task of providing user and Device access/blocked access information to meet regulatory compliance and for security forensics.

The value of our MetaAccess NAC solution is simply this&mdashby ensuring that every network connection and endpoint Device is visible allowed or blocked appropriately in real-time the threat associated with security incidents can be reduced substantially. Don&rsquot risk your organization&rsquos data and reputation by exposing it &ndash instead ensure that the security of your network your constituents&rsquo personal information and your intellectual property remains intact.

NAC Solution Features and Benefits

Know what&rsquos on your network

Agentless Device identification and profiling provides visibility into detailed information for Devices on your network: Username IP address MAC address Role Device Type Location Time and Ownership. MetaAccess NAC uses advanced heuristics and rich pattern analysis for strong Device profiling:

Device discovery and profiling

MetaAccess NAC discovers new IoT and User Devices that attempt network access. This solution can either Profile (determine Device type) in a passive manner or quarantine the Device until Device type is explicitly known. We use the following techniques to determine Device types:

Deep Device Fingerprinting
- DHCP
- Web Browser User Agent Identification
- URL Fingerprinting
- MAC address OID fingerprinting

Input from external sources such as
- in-line network Devices (wireless access points firewalls)
- database resources

Control IoT or Browser-less Device access

Whether it&rsquos printers and VOIP phones smart Devices like thermostats and lights or OT Devices specific to your industry controlling and monitoring these Devices can be a real challenge. These Devices can represent much of the risk in your environment and many organizations are addressing this issue through network segmentation. Our NAC solution provides a consolidated view of traditional systems mobile and IoT Devices and now operational technology (OT) systems giving you the ability to segment IoT Devices either using ACLs or assignment to a specific VLAN from a single dashboard.

The NAC solution allows multiple options designed to meet your varying requirements for these types of Devices:

Passive Onboarding &ndash You have an option for SafeConnect to recognize certain Device types and passively allow them access.

Bulk Upload &ndash You have an option to whitelist a group of Devices with the MAC address ensuring only these specific MAC addresses will get on the network.

Self-Registration &ndash If you are in an environment where you have specific IoT Devices that need identity tied to it these can be self-registered through the captive portal.

Deep compliance Device check

Whether it&rsquos your organization&rsquos Acceptable Use Policies (AUP) or regulatory requirements SafeConnect ensures Devices on your network adhere and comply accordingly. Windows macOS and mobile Devices are checked with deep Endpoint Assessments prior to granting network access to ensure that the Device adheres to your AUPs and are also checked in real-time as they move across your network.

Meeting regulatory compliance requirements such as GDPR HIPAA PCI DSS SOX or GLBA revolve around knowing &ldquowho what when and where&rdquo for Devices and users on your network and  controlling access to the data your company needs to keep secure. SafeConnect NAC helps you achieve that  visibility security and  control - and automates policies that validate  accountability mitigate vulnerabilities  and block evolving threats  &ndash ensuring your compliance with recurring audits.

Authenticate your users

Depending upon your environment you can authenticate your users with multiple methods/protocols. End User AD/LDAP/SAML Authentication prevents unauthorized users from accessing network resources. SafeConnect NAC supports the following authentication types: EAP-PEAP (credential based) EAP-PEAP (machine based) EAP-TLS (certificate based) as well as domain and 802.1X Single Sign-On (SSO).

Secure access for guests vendors and 3rd parties

End User Captive Portal for authentication of BYOD Devices with extensive branding / customization capabilities.

Guest Self-Registration automates the process of provisioning temporary network access for your guests. Set up different access levels and approval processes for guests vendors or other 3rd parties needing access to your network. SafeConnect comes standard with a fully configured SMS gateway that provides international SMS support right out of the box. Device Enrollment with Bulk Upload MAC Address capability enables proper authentication for browser-less Devices such as printers VOIP phones IP Cameras or any other IOT enabled Device including optional network access assignment (VLAN ACL Role Profile etc.).

View real-time or historical management reporting

SafeConnect NAC gathers a wealth of real-time and historical context-aware Device information called Contextual Intelligence such as Username IP Address MAC Address Role Location Time Ownership and even Compliance Status. This information allows for more timely and informed security decisions.
