Unified Access Control
Unified Access Control from Juniper Networks combines user identity, device security state and network location data to create a unique, dynamic access control ploicy for each individual user and session.
Unified Access Control (UAC) is a standards-based, scalable Network Access Control solution for adaptive access control that reduces threat exposure and mitigates risks. Unified Access Control protects your network, guarding mission-critical applications and sensitive data, and providing comprehensive control, visibility, and monitoring.
This approach to adaptive Network Access Control reduces the cost and complexity of delivering and deploying granular Network Access Control from the branch to the corporate data center. Unified Access Control also addresses network access challenges such as insider threats, guest access, outsourcing and off-shoring, and regulatory compliance.
Unified Access Control is composed of:
- The IC Series Unified Access Control Appliances, hardened, centralised network access policy management servers.
- The UAC Agent, a dynamically downloadable agent that collects user credentials and assesses device security state. (Unified Access Control also offers an agent-less mode for use when software downloads are not practical, such as with guest users.)
- Unified Access Control enforcement points, including any vendor-agnostic 802.1X-enabled Wireless access point or switch, including Juniper Networks EX Series ethernet Switches; any Juniper Networks firewall platform, including the SSG Series Secure Services Gateways and ISG Series Integrated Services Gateways, as well as the SRX Series Services Gateways; and standalone Juniper Networks IDP Series Intrusion Detection and Prevention Appliances, providing unparalleled visibility into application traffic at Layer 7.
Unified Access Control is the industry's first NAC solution to offer full Layer 2 through Layer 7 enforcement capabilities.
Unified Access Control is based on industry standards (802.1X, RADIUS, and IPSec) and open standards (Trusted Network Connect standards), including the TNC's open standard IF-MAP, which empowers Unified Access Control to integrate with third-party network and security devices.
