In order to effectively and successfully deploy and enable access controls against all devices (managed, unmanaged, physical, virtual, etc.) residing on the enterprise network it is essential to classify devices determining the appropriate role and access rights they are to be assigned once being attached to the network.

An enterprise network access control infrastructure that uses Juniper Networks UAC and Insightix Visibility can dynamically detect and enforce policy for unmanaged and managed devices throughout the entire enterprise infrastructure. This joint solution is able to maintain, in real time, a complete and accurate inventory of all devices operating on the network, enforcing policy based on meaningful network, device, and user information.

Insightix BSA enables complete control over the security status of an enterprise network by ensuring completeness of operation, making it possible to apply appropriate security means against ALL applicable targets in real-time.

“Insightix support for IF-MAP adds unique capabilities to the combined Juniper Networks Unified Access Control (UAC) and Insightix Visibility solution,” said Domenic Perri, director, Business Development and Alliances, Juniper Networks. “The comprehensive solution provides adaptive, dynamic and complete access controls against devices that are managed, unmanaged, physical or virtual. Insightix support for IF-MAP also adds an important building block in Juniper's Adaptive Threat Management Solutions, enabling our security products to provide a complete and dynamic threat management solution.”

The adoption and installation of new IT technologies is constant, and as a result, a knowledge gap frequently exists between the perceived and the actual security state of an enterprise's network. Many devices may reside on enterprise networks without being known to IT managers and security administrators. The integrated joint solution will provide McAfee customers with more complete visibility of unmanaged devices on their networks, helping them better assess their risk, and enabling faster corrective action to reduce that risk.
