ClearPass OnGuard

ClearPass OnGuard is a security solution developed by Aruba Networks. It is designed to help organizations maintain the security of their network by ensuring that only trusted devices with updated software can access and operate within it.

Through ClearPass OnGuard, organizations can gain complete visibility and control over devices trying to connect to their network, regardless of the operating system or device type. Devices are also checked for compliance with security policies before being allowed into the network.

The software allows administrators to set up rules for network access, defining specific criteria that a device must meet to gain permission to enter the network. For example, rules can be set up to require that devices have up-to-date anti-virus software, or that all software on the device is fully patched and up-to-date.

ClearPass OnGuard also conducts periodic checks on connected devices while they are operating within the network, ensuring that they continue to meet security requirements. This prevents threats from entering the network through previously trusted devices that may have become compromised over time.

ClearPass OnGuard provides a comprehensive solution for network security management, allowing organizations to maintain control over their network access while minimizing security risks and improving security compliance across all connected devices.
