Overview

Portnox CLEAR™ is a Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) cloud platform that delivers continuous, on/off-premises risk monitoring and device vulnerability assessment for corporate and BYOD endpoints across any wired, wireless and cloud infrastructure. Similar to a credit score, it assigns risk scores, assesses the threat a device may pose to your network and takes action in real time.
CLEAR profiles all endpoints by inspecting dozens of risk parameters, including checking the status of the anti-virus, installed applications, disk encryption, open ports, installed root certificates, firewall, patches and many more. Organizations can ensure that each employee’s endpoint is assigned a unique set of revocable credentials to access the network. Those credentials are valid only on that specific endpoint.
With CLEAR, IT is automatically alerted of the dangers endpoints pose before they join, and while they are on the enterprise network – whether they are wired, wireless or VPN. CLEAR approves access for low risk endpoints and limits or denies access for endpoints that pose a risk to the organizational network. When an unknown or malicious device is found, Portnox Network Access Control (NAC) offers three crucial features, detection, prevention, and response. Portnox can block or limit the access of unknown devices and virtually integrate with ANY detection product using its automated response module. Once an alert about network abnormalities is received, it can perform an enforcement action on that device. Response includes automatically blocking, limiting access, or quarantining suspected devices – all working to protect and prevent attacks in the network. The software also offers pre-and post-connection control, so it is flexible, depending on user, device, location, compliance and time.
