The Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager platform provides role and device-based network access control for employees, contractors and guests across any multivendor wired, wireless and VPN infrastructure.
With a built-in context-based policy engine, RADIUS, TACACS+ protocol support, device profiling and comprehensive posture assessment, onboarding, and guest access options, ClearPass is unrivaled as a foundation for network security in any organization.
For wider security coverage, using firewalls, EMM and other existing solutions, ClearPass Exchange allows for automated threat protection and workflows to third-party security and IT systems that previously required manual IT intervention.
In addition, ClearPass supports secure self-service capabilities for end user convenience. Users can securely configure their own devices for enterprise use or Internet access. Aruba wireless customers can provide registration of AirPlay-, AirPrint-, DLNA-, and UPnP-enabled devices for sharing.
The result is a comprehensive and scalable policy management platform that goes beyond traditional AAA solutions to deliver extensive enforcement capabilities for IT-owned and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) security requirements.
THE CLEARPASS DIFFERENCE
The ClearPass Policy Manager is the only policy solution that centrally enforces all aspects of enterprise-grade mobility and NAC for any industry. Granular network access enforcement is based on a user's role, device type and role, authentication method, EMM/MDM attributes, device health, location, and time-of-day.
Offering unsurpassed interoperability, ClearPass offers extensive multivendor wireless, wired and VPN infrastructure support which enables IT to easily rollout secure mobility policies across any environment.
Deployment scalability supports tens of thousands of devices and authentications which surpasses the capabilities offered by legacy AAA solutions. Options exist for small to large organizations, from local to distributed environments.
ADVANCED REPORTING AND ALERTING WITH INSIGHT
Policy Manager includes advanced reporting capabilities that includes customizable dashboards for authentication, endpoint profiling, industry standards, and other information for guest, and device health, all in an at-a-glance dashboard. InSight also includes granular alert capabilities.
ADVANCED POLICY MANAGEMENT
Employee access
ClearPass Policy Manager offers role-based user and device authentication based on 802.1X, MAC auth, and web portal access methods. Concurrent authentication methods can be used to support a variety of use-cases. Also includes support for multi-factor authentication based on login times, posture checks, and other context such as new user, new device, and more.
Attributes from multiple identity stores such as Microsoft Active Directory, LDAP-compliant directory, ODBC-compliant SQL database, token servers and internal databases across domains can be used within a single policy for fine-grained control.
