 Increases security against internal network security breaches
Insider security breaches are both commonplace and costly. The 2004 CSI/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey reports 68% of organizations reported that they had suffered at least one, if not more insider security incidents. IPScan delivers a powerful security solution to mitigate against the considerable risks of insider security breaches. IPScan provides a comprehensive, policy-based access control enforcement solution that ensures that only authorized devices can connect to the internal network, whether via wired or wireless media.
Prevents costly downtime associated with IP address conflicts
According to the Forrester Group, 15% of all application downtime is caused by network issues, and a majority of the root causes of network-based downtime is due to IP addressing problems. IP address conflicts that bring down connectivity to key servers, or worse, to key routers can cause costly network downtime. This means that under-managed IP address space is a business risk liability to every organization. IPScan can virtually eliminate the risk of network downtime due to IP address conflicts, since it enforces complete policy-based address management controls over not only dynamic (DHCP) addresses, but also static IP addresses and even Ethernet addresses and hostnames.
Enhances Regulatory and Best Practices Compliance
IPScan provides an automated and centrally managed platform for network access control policy definition, propagation and enforcement. IPScan also records a history of every device’s access to the network, to provide solid documentation of the control processes for compliance purposes. Without IPScan, a breach of data privacy could be easily shown to be the result of poor control processes on fundamental network access, which may result in stiff fines and penalties.
Streamlines IT and network engineering operations
IP address management is a time-consuming, yet absolutely necessary IT task. Due to its comprehensive detection, monitoring, audit trail documentation, administration and policy enforcement capabilities, IPScan reduce IP address management by 80%, leading to increased productivity, lowered costs, and faster response times to customer and market requirements.
