SECURITY
Alcatel-Lucent secures the network with proactive and reactive capabilities that are provided through Alcatel-Lucent Access Guardian and the Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista 2770 Quarantine Manager.
Alcatel-Lucent’s Access Guardian enables proactive, network-wide security through auto-sense authentication that runs on the OmniSwitch, preventing unauthorized network access. The Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista 2770 Quarantine Manager provides reactive security by automatically handling malicious attacks by taking intrusion information and dynamically reconfiguring the network to contain the attack.
Alcatel-Lucent Access Guardian provides identity based network access to enable enforcement of device and network security policies, resulting in increased privacy and availability of communications. Access Guardian authenticates network users, confirms their PC’s conformance to security policies, and then provides access rights based on the user’s role. Using Access Guardian, the network is able to provide secure access to all authorized users including IP phones and other network devices, regardless of the vendor. All while protecting the privacy and availability of your business’ communications.
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista Quarantine Manager is an open, attack containment solution that defends against attacks at the network and application levels by isolating misbehaving users and providing a means for user remediation. It integrates quarantine information from any IDS or source of information about an attack and can locate and isolate an attacking device on any switch or wireless LAN switch in the network.
Although third-party switches can quarantine a port, when the OmniVista Quarantine Manager is used with an Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch it is able to offer options to either isolate or quarantine only the offending user while keeping network access to any other users on the same port open.
