Home » The Nac Payback
With so many competing claims about the severity of possible computer security risks and a crowded marketplace of security products to choose from, determining what your threat exposure is can be confusing, but where the rubber meets the road is in real, tangible results. Mirage offers the NAC Payback Series as a window into the Return on Investment organizations can expect when implementing a Mirage NAC solution.
Enforcing the PCI Data Security Standard
Payment Card Industry deadlines for compliance with new Data Security Standards are imminent, yet many organizations would still fail an audit today. Mirage NAC technology addresses nine of the 12 requirements for PCI compliance, which can help secure the networks of those seeking to avoid monthly penalties and increased transaction fees.
Instant Messaging (IM)
For many, Instant Messaging (IM) is a silent threat to a network infrastructure. Most organizations have no visibility into IM traffic on their networks, and threats propagate easily through IM communities because users are not as educated about the risks inherent to the technology. The Mirage NAC solution provides the network intelligence organizations need to make reasoned decisions about this highly collaborative tool.
Peer-to-Peer Networking (P2P)
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networking can be a serious drain on network resources, and can leave organizations open to statutory violations. For organizations who act as Internet Service Providers, such as universities and colleges, illegal P2P file sharing can leave them exposed to intellectual property litigation. The Mirage NAC solution gives organizations the ability to pinpoint P2P traffic, which in turn gives them the power to control it.
Controlling Rogue Devices
Rogue devices such as personal routing and mobile Internet devices can wreak havoc on open network architectures, causing unpredictable outages and broadcast storms. Mirage NAC can tame these beasts while allowing institutions to maintain their open networks, or can halt network traffic from these devices, providing a secure and controlled network environment.
