Extra Reading Material

We have tested three NAC solutions since last week: ConSentry, Infoexpress and Juniper. The result from the PoC test with Infoexpress and Juniper were satisfy our requirements partly. Further testing is require to test extra features offered by them. We need also to test again the ConSentry NAC. I need to find a suitable date for it.

For next PoC test (this week and next week), we will try to setup the NAC solution from Aruba ECS, Bradford and Greenpacket. The main requirement for this PoC is to test the features as listed below:

1. Can integrate with with our Aruba Controller - (we are using A200 to simulate the actual environment)
2. Able to manage the access of connected wireless user
3. Able to check the AV - verify the version
4. Able to qurantine the wireless user if they don’t have AV or turn off their AV
5. Able to detect/check network bridging activies via UTP, PCMCIA, bluetooth, VM Ware - and disable it
6. Able to detect DHCP running process on user laptop - and disable it
7. IPV6 compliance - at least in their roadmap.

We hope that the tested NAC would able to comply our main requirements.
