A HIGH PERFORMANCE, COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION TO SECURE ENTERPRISE LANs

ConSentry is building wire-speed devices built to protect the most demanding LANs with levels of user-based visibility and control not available today. Enterprise LANs or the internal network are open and vulnerable with contractors, business partners and guests all requiring access. It’s not just about connectivity anymore, its now about control. The ConSentry platform is purpose built to deliver granular control over users, applications and access to the LAN with the performance, simplicity and affordability to make securing your LAN viable to deploy.

Performance: The Power of the LANShield™ Silicon Architecture

High Throughput: Enterprise LANs have performance requirements that are orders of magnitude greater than WAN links. Today’s wiring closet switches have gigabit and sometimes multiple gigabit links up to the core/aggregation layer. Only ConSentry’s patent-pending LANShield silicon architecture is capable delivering breakthrough secure processing throughput and the flow acceleration needed to fully visualize and control LAN-based communications. The ConSentry platform enables deep packet inspection at up to 10 Gbps throughput rates on traffic coming from users and coming from the network core.

Innovation in the LAN: Building User and Application Control into the Network Fabric

Understanding Users: The ConSentry platform binds together a user’s name to IP and MAC address as the user authenticates to the LAN. Once bound together, this user information is tracked and can be used for policy enforcement, authorization and reporting on a per user basis. Now all incidents and reports are bound to a specific user greatly reducing the amount of work needed to associate IP and MAC to users.

Application Awareness:

Most traditional security devices can only inspect and control traffic up to layer 4, which means web-based applications which tunnel under port 80 and LAN-based applications which create their own internal layer 4 port identifiers are not visible and can’t be controlled. For this reason relying only on layer 2-4 data is insufficient to control and understand traffic. The ConSentry platform classifies traffic to layer 7 for every new flow enabling strong application- based enforcement capability.

Simplicity: Non-disruptive, Transparent Security Seamless Network Fit:

Securing the LAN should not mean replacing the LAN. Rather solutions must leverage the existing installed network equipment. In addition, it must integrate with existing authentication, identity management platforms and host integrity software for a seamless fit. The ConSentry platform does exactly that, as a non-disruptive bridge in between the wiring closet switches and core/aggregation layer switches. It deploys seamlessly into the network infrastructure enabling security that is transparent to users.

Centralized Management:

Any LAN security solution needs be as simple tomanage as existing switches. Solutions should not require complex security event managers to correlate, rather should provide user-based, violation indexed reporting to allow IT to take immediate action when a security or network incident arises. The ConSentry management platform provides IT staff with a centralized, easy-to- use and actionable control panel for a single view of all user activity and security incidents across the enterprise LAN.
