Emerging Technologies - Clean Access to ASU Networks


Quick View
Summary: 

The goal is to employ the appropriate product to use the network infrastructure to enforce security policy compliance on all devices seeking to access network computing resources. Network administrators could authenticate, authorize, evaluate, and remediate wired, wireless, and remote users and their machines prior to network access. It would identify whether networked devices such as laptops, IP phones, or game consoles are compliant with ASU 's network security policies and would repairs any vulnerabilities before permitting access to the network.

Networks can realize benefits such as:

  • Minimized network outages
  • Enforcement of security policies
  • Significant cost savings with automated device repairs and updates
