Security by DesignBlueCat Networks and Mirage Networks have partnered to build secure, scalable networks that offer advanced “defense-in-depth” protection against zero-day exploits. Coupled with Adonis’s Advanced DHCP MAC Authentication process for Network Access Control, the unique architecture of the Mirage NAC solution provides policy-based post-admission security without introducing software agents or network latency.
Together, Mirage and BlueCat provide a solution that goes beyond traditional Network Access Control (NAC) tools for both dynamic and static IP environments; from initial authentication, to pre-admission checks, and non-intrusive post-admission checks, the integrated solution safeguards the network against zero-day attacks, policy violations, and unauthorized network access throughout the lifecycle of the network connection. Adonis integrates directly with the Mirage family of Post-Admission NAC Appliances. The Mirage appliance provides advanced protection against zero-day exploits with unique, virtually-inline technology that reduces network latency while improving overall network hygiene. BlueCat’s Adonis is the only family of network appliances to integrate directly with Mirage NAC version 3.0 appliances. The BlueCat/Mirage joint solution is effectively invisible to end users and is a logical extension of existing network infrastructure, delivering powerful yet flexible, full-cycle Network Access Control. Network DeploymentIn a typical deployment the Adonis DNS/DHCP appliance is used to provide pre-admission NAC screening prior to granting an IP lease to an end user. The Mirage NAC appliance sits out-of-band on the network and provides constant monitoring of IP traffic. When a threat is identified, the Mirage NAC appliance will quarantine the threat while interacting with Adonis to revoke the IP address lease and terminate the threat’s connectivity. 
Build Scalable, Hygienic Network Infrastructure — Defense-in-DepthTraditional offerings for Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, Anti Spy-Ware, Content Filtering and Personal Firewalls are rapidly commoditizing. This is resulting in network strategies that provide a primary reactive defense and not a policy against “zero-day” attacks. Enterprises are looking to add to these solutions for defense in-depth strategies, including; - Protection at the desktop, server, switch and perimeter, and;
- Provide protection throughout the OSI stack
The explosive growth of IP applications is driving the increase in the consumption of IP addresses. Accurate monitoring and managing of network access to maintain accurate identity management for IP and MAC addresses are more critical as a result. These are key activities in providing hygienic working environments that do not hamper network capabilities. Network Hygiene Solution Benefits - The Combined BlueCat/Mirage solution provides comprehensive Network Access Control for the entire network address space, from the time that devices connect to the time that they disconnect; complete security throughout pre-admission, authentication, and post-admission phases.
- Comprehensive Identity Management with pre-admission authentication using a combination of MAC filtering and LDAP/RADIUS/AD/Kerberos services. The solution integrates seamlessly with Proteus Enterprise IP Address Management (IPAM) Appliance for enterprise wide control.
- Simplified deployment model: no endpoint agent software required; no switch integration required. Built in quarantine capabilities for un-authenticated users.
- Out-of-band solution prevents creation of a single point of failure.
- IP Lease data (IP/MAC/User Name) can be leveraged by corporate help desk to simplify trouble ticketing for quarantine service calls. Help desk staff proactively know which users are having quarantine issues.
- The combined solution can be combined with other network access controls systems such as CNAC, MSNAP, TCG NAC providing support for all other NAC standards.
The BlueCat/Mirage Networks Hygiene Solution offers powerful, yet flexible, full-cycle Network Access Control. The NAC lifecycle of a network connection extends from initial authentication, to pre-admission checks, and non-intrusive post-admission checks. During this entire cycle the integrated solution safeguards the network against day-zero attacks, policy violations, and unauthorized network access. - Protection Against Zero-Day Exploits
