Most organizations have a set of rules and guidelines that dictate how the network
should be used and aligned to meet business objectives. Secure Networks™ provides
a foundation for aligning network users, services and application behavior
with business objectives.
Acceptable Use Policy allows the network to provision required business
services to users automatically through policy, prioritizing business-critical
applications at network ingress points while discarding undesirable and malicious
traffic.
Secure Guest Access is a fundamental process of recognition through
which the network “sees” whether the user is an employee, other “trusted
user” or a visitor, and then authorizes a level of access accordingly.
Distribution Layer Security provides policy-based security through
the strategic placement of Enterasys’ advanced, policyenabled distribution
layer switches, preserving investments in legacy access switches and wireless
access points.
