Visitor Internet Access
Securing & Isolating Visitor Traffic on your WLAN or Ethernet Networks
With an increasingly mobile work force, today's enterprises are facing new challenges of accommodating roaming employees as well as office visitors trying to access the Internet. With WiFi being prolific, every conference room has become a hotspot and hence a potential security threat to the enterprise network. The need of the hour is to authenticate, authorize, secure and control every session running on the enterprise network.
MSG Gateways Provide The Ideal Platform
Inventum's MSG gateways authenticate, authorize and then controls every IP packet coming into & transiting your network. Irrespective of how users connect, WiFi or Ethernet, the MSG intercepts and enforces corporate policies including mandatory authentication, session QoS & security. The MSG is an all-in-one appliance solution that allows you to secure Internet access from your enterprise.
Differentiating Visitors from Employees
The network virtualization core of the MSG allows each user to be authenticated and then segregated into separate virtual networks each having its own personalized VLAN, routing tables & IP filters. For example, employees can be carried on the private VLAN while visitors get switched to the visitor VLAN. Each set of users can have distinct routing and filtering rules.
Locking Down
Authorized sessions can be locked down or controlled using identity or user specific policies. Policies include authentication method, flow based QoS, access schedule, routing, firewall rules and content filtering. Enterprises can integrate policies from existing directory infrastructure including LDAP & Microsoft Active Directory Services.
Real-time Session Tracking
MSG gateways actively maintain session states in real-time. Administrators can monitor, record and track each session for traffic volume, time connected and even URLs visited. In session upgrades, downgrades & even disconnection can be handled using a browser based management GUI.
In summary, the MSG Enterprise Edition & MSG Hotspot Edition provide the ideal platform for enabling controlled, secure visitor Internet access at any location.
