Traditional means of authentication is achieved by passwords only that may be stolen, guessed or known by methods of social engineering. Arwen Tech can assist customers in implementation of such solutions derived from the portfolio of Cisco Solutions.

Authentication and Access control are methods to give access and apply restrictions to use of resources critical to a business. Traditional means of authentication is achieved by passwords only that may be stolen, guessed or known by methods of social engineering. Ensuring the individual accessing/requesting a resource is who he claims to be is a challenge faced by businesses; Arwen Tech can assist customers in implementation of such solutions derived from amongst the authentication portfolio of Cisco Access Control, RSA SecureID integrated with RSA ACE/Server deploying Smart Cards/Tokens or RSA KeyOn for Digital Certificates. Arwen Tech can also implement Single Sign On solution for access control through Central Management and Control combined with Soft/Hard Tokens, Smart Cards or Digital Certificates from integrated vendors of Computer Associates.

The RSA SecurID system is the world’s leading two-factor user authentication solution. Used in conjunction with RSA ACE/Server software, an RSA SecurID authenticator is designed to function like an ATM card for the network, requiring users to identify themselves with two unique factors — something they know and something they have — before they are granted access

Network Admission Control (NAC) is a Cisco Systems sponsored industry initiative that uses the network infrastructure to enforce security policy compliance on all devices seeking to access network computing resources, thereby limiting damage from viruses and worms. Using NAC, organizations can provide network access to endpoint devices such as PCs, PDAs, and servers that are verified to be fully compliant with established security policy. NAC can also identify noncompliant devices and deny them access, place them in a quarantined area, or give them restricted access to computing resources. NAC is part of the Cisco Self-Defending Network, an initiative to increase network intelligence in order to enable the network to automatically identify, prevent, and adapt to security threats.

Cisco Clean Access is an easily deployed software solution that can automatically detect, isolate, and clean infected or vulnerable devices that attempt to access your network. It identifies whether networked devices such as laptops, personal digital assistants, even game consoles are compliant with your network's security policies and repairs any vulnerability before permitting access to the network.
