Focused network security appliances that provide strong access control to wired and wireless networks and application layer policy based management of network resources.

Network administrators are faced with some serious security challenges when implementing wireless technology or providing public access points in places like classrooms, hospital wards, and conference rooms. When a user logs in through a wireless access point or plugs into a classroom jack, how do we really know who that user is? And once a trusted user is allowed on the network, how can you make sure they only get access to authorized network resources? 

Complete Control over Network Access:
The Secure Edge Controller sits at or near the edge of the network, watching for traffic from an unauthenticated user. It blocks all this traffic before it even makes it onto the network. Only web traffic and maintenance traffic are allowed from an unauthenticated user, and all this traffic is automatically redirected to a special web server known as the Authorization Server, which prompts the user for the information necessary for authorization. This session is completely customizable for each installation, allowing total flexibility in the design of the authorization process. From something as simple as requiring that the user agree to Terms of Use through more complex schemes requiring ID's and passwords, the authorization process is entirely flexible. For those requiring access control of thousands of users like a hospital or small campus, the Secure Core Controller is the appliance to meet your needs.
