Today, employees bring a range of gadgets with them to the workplace — and use them all over the world to connect with work networks. Employees over the past years have enjoyed the multiple benefits of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). This trend brings about the data security and privacy risks, especially for healthcare industry where patient data is particularly lucrative for cyber criminals. With mobile devices, typically, many of us will casually connect to open Wireless networks, or accept new connections without thinking who they may be. Often harmless-looking hardware that appears like a Wi-Fi hotspot or free service can be a rogue device in disguise. The rogue device gives a seemingly free and safe Internet connection, but in fact sniffs the connection for passwords, corporate gateways, and other useful information to further infiltrate a company. On the other hand, misconfigured or mismanaged network access devices (aka “rogue” devices) sometimes mimic the actions of central network control equipment and prevent network access by other users of the network, directly affecting the business operations.

A network access control (NAC) system allows organizations to restrict access to resources on their network.  NAC systems can play a vital role in automatically identifying devices as they connect to the network and providing access that does not potentially compromise security or restrict access to corporate resources based on the users’ identity and role. NAC has a reputation of being expensive and difficult to deploy.  InfoExpress Easy NAC is an agent-less NAC solution that doesn’t require changes to the network. No switch configurations or spanning ports required.  These attributes make Easy NAC the easiest NAC solution to deploy and manage.
