CounterACT, Network Access Control solution by ForeScout |
|
|
Navixia is proud to present a solution developed by American security specialist ForeScout. ForeScout specialises in clientless network access control (NAC) solutions, which enable customers to gain control over network security without disrupting end-user productivity. - CounterACT makes it possible to deal with vulnerabilities introduced by contractors, guests and mobile/home employees who are able to bypass physical security and the traditional network security mechanisms designed to prevent non-compliant endpoints from accessing the network. CounterACT addresses this problem by enforcing network security policies across all managed and unmanaged network devices, including desktops and laptops as well as non-OS devices such as VoIP phones, handhelds and network printers, without the need for a software agent of any kind.

- CounterACT combines clientless NAC and signatureless intrusion prevention to ensure all connecting devices are in compliance with network security policies and are free of worms and self-propagating malware. The NAC is completely transparent and enables enterprises to tailor enforcement to match the level of policy violations, eliminating disruptions during device interrogation.
Features and benefits
- CounterACT seamlessly integrates into any network environment without requiring costly upgrades or infrastructure changes. It ensures that all endpoints are up-to-date with necessary patches and are free of unauthorized programs and malware. By detecting and instantly blocking critical threats (fast spreading worms and malware) upon connection, CounterACT allows users to connect to the network while their device is being searched for potential threats or malware in a totally transparent way.
Quick tour
CounterACT now also provides PCI compliance. Further to the very serious security breaches that occured in credit card data processing in the past 18 months, the Payment Card Industry established the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) to control access to credit cardholder information. Enforced through compulsory IT audits today, the PCI DSS helps to protect cardholders' private, personal data. The latest version of CounterACT (6.3) includes the PCI Compliance Kit.
