With a rise in remote work opportunities, the demand for network access control has significantly increased. We are here at Sentry Security to help guide you through network security, reduce potential threats, and boost your peace of mind. In this article we are breaking down the benefits of network access control in the fight against various cyber threats and or security breaches. We will expand on how network access control brings together crucial elements of increasing your network visibility, successfully reducing cyber attacks, and boosting overall job performance through organization.
When faced with a possible threat, the best defense is knowing the second something suspicious is detected you have already been notified. You are able to detect potential threats by having access logins monitored 24/7 with agents on standby to notify you and jump in to assist. Each user is detected and each login attempt does not go unnoticed for high-quality security compliance before granting access. Businesses can appreciate the ease of efficiently being able to block unauthorized users or unrecognized devices from entering their private network.
Network access control is more than a security enhancer, it is also able to boost productivity for your business. When working remotely or in an office, utilizing separate network connections can create disorganization across departments. Access control provides optimal supervision when assigning who has access to what (and even at what time). This type of access control forms a central platform to keep everyone on the same page. Quickly identify which individual or group is accessing which device connected to your specific network with role-based access control. You can monitor and manage access anytime, anywhere for premium productivity.
You might be asking, why would I want network visibility? Network visibility still keeps your private information and resources private, despite how the title might sound. Network Visibility monitors any ‘blind spots’ or vulnerabilities to your private network. Network Visibility also refers to seeing threats or weaknesses before issues can arise. Access Control paired with network visibility detect unfamiliar activity or suspicious behavior, from there technicians and system administrators are alerted and to resolve any issues.
