TippingPoint, the world's leader in in-line network intrusion prevention systems, is introducing its new Network Access Control (NAC) solution at AusCERT2007. However, instead of focusing on NAC in and of itself - because alone, it does not address the real network security need that customers are trying to address - this presentation will demonstrate why a new approach to NAC is required to solve the real security issues customers face today. Top-of-mind security issues customers are facing today, such as the continuously evolving threat landscape, increased employee and device mobility and regulatory compliance pressures. The need for 360? policy-based control that provides continuous traffic flow inspection, flexible enforcement, affordability and that is non-disruptive to an existing network. How IPS-Secured Networks convert uncontrolled, unclean devices, users and flows to those that are controlled and clean Why providing integrated access and attack control policies is only possible with a proven in-line IPS that provides multi-gigabit throughput and switch-like latency, and operating with thousands of active vulnerability filters at high accuracy. The world-renowned Digital Vaccine® service from TippingPoint's DVLabs that delivers thousands of filters to the IPS for preemptive protection against zero day threats, worms, viruses, Trojans, denial of service attacks, spyware, phishing and voice over IP security threats.
