LAN Protection
The external Internet is not the only source of attacks on data networks. Attacks can just as easily be launched from within the network as from outside. Wired and wireless connections on the inside of the network constitute an ‘attack plane’ that cybercriminals will gladly exploit. Even a strong physical security system, preventing intruders from entering the building, is no guarantee of immunity from internally-launched attacks. Also, malware can easily enter the system through the unintentional actions of valid network users.
Allied Telesis network appliances incorporate powerful security features, including:
- Network Access Control (NAC) through complete authentication, which ensures that no device or user can gain network access without proving their credentials to do so. Features such as tri-authentication, roaming authentication and two-step authentication, control network access for both locally connected and wireless users.
- Built-in security capabilities for switching, routing, and high-availability features, to guarantee total protection of network control communication.
- Secure management options, with an encrypted connection to network appliances for administrators.
- Specific techniques to guard against malicious attacks. Features like port security, ingress filtering, DoS attack prevention, DHCP snooping, and more protect the network from internal threats.
