Meeting the Enterprise Security and Compliance Challenge

Enterprises today have an increasingly complex set of IT challenges. Not only must IT provide a competitive edge by increasing productivity and market reach, IT departments must also manage the information infrastructure to increasingly strict government compliance standards while fending off external and internal security threats.

IPScan provides a unique combination of security, automated resource management, and compliance benefits to a wide variety of enteprise organizations. Deployed by hundreds of leading financial, technology, healthcare, manufacturing, and other enterprises, IPScan puts IT firmly in control of all Ethernet and IP access to the network, automates time-consuming routein IT address management tasks, and helps ensure compliance with SOX, HIPAA, Gramm-Leach Bliley and other regulatory requirements.. IPScan also enforces internal security controls across the entire network automatically, and maintains an always-accurate set of network documentation on end user addressing and access hsitory. Finally, IPScan prevents costly downtime from network address conflicts that can take down critical routers, switches and servers.

Enabling More Competitive and Cost-Effective IP Service Delivery

Service Providers are faced with stiff global competition in the race to provide broader, more integrated bundles of IP-enabled services including Internet access, video entertainment, fixed and mobile voice, and converged messaging. With the explosion of IP services comes an explosion of core network and customer Ethernet and IP devices, many of which utilize static IP addresses. Service Providers need the ability to gain control over their address management and network access in order to ensure the optimal deployment of assets and personnel for revenue generation.

IPScan is the leading solution for Ethernet and IP access and address management, providing an unparalleled level of automation that enables greater operational accuracy and responsiveness. IPScan increases network and service availability by preventing downtime from address conflicts, and enforces secure controls over access to networks that handle customers' sensitive data traffic.

Enabling Security, Readiness and Customer Service

Government and military agencies really increasingly on IP network-based information systems to empower them to deliver critical public and national services. Often there is little or no room for error in delivering these services, so internal security threats, network outages, and lack of internal control processes cannot be tolerated..

IPScan ensures that government and military agencies' IP networks are:

 - Secure from rogue devices that create internal network and informaiton security threats
 - Robust and protected from downtime due to IP address conflicts that can bring down critical routers,
    switches and servers
 - Tightly controlled by sound Ethernet and IP resource allocation processes compliant with the highest
    best practices standards
 - Freed from burdensome address management maintenance overhead that costs IT organizations
    the ability to focus on strategic intiatiatives

Enforcing Security and Resource Management in Open Network Environments

University environments are by nature higly fluid, and the IP networks serving student bodies are wide open to a range of fixed and wireless access, with students' use of university networks largely unsupervised. The combination of these factors can make it challenging to properly manage network access and addressing, to say the least.

IPScan provides a centralized control point for all network access and address assignment, but that is completely transparent to student and other users, with no client software needed, for maximum control and ease of use.

IPScan helps university network administrators ensure that rogue devices are not entering the network, and that address conflicts are not affecting campus and Internet communications. Since IPScan automatically detects Ethernet and IP devices, administrators are relieved of the time-consuming burden of manually administrating IP address space, freeing them to focus on more pressing initiatives.
