Need to protect client PCs completely from security threats based on a security policy.
Client PC quarantine system

Present issues

Failed implementation of security measures on client PCs cannot be identified.
Unauthorised PCs and other devices attached to the network cannot be detected.
Prohibited user operations, such as unauthorised installation of software, are not under control.
A consistent security level cannot be maintained due to the lack of integrated, cross-departmental security measures.

Effects of installation

Centrally manages all client PCs and automatically remedies vulnerable client PCs.
Detects and blocks access to the network of unknown PCs or other devices.
Monitors unauthorised operation of clients, and tracks back problems.

Explanation of solution

Client PCs in danger of being infected with viruses or leaking of confidential information due to poor security are detected before their connection to the business network, and automatically remedied to remove the vulnerability.

Operation example

Automated remedy of vulnerable client PCs

The "Unauthorised Connection Monitoring & Blocking" product automatically disconnects a client PC judged "dangerous" in security check from the network. The rejected client PC can communicate only with the remedy server on the quarantine network for treatment.

After it is remedied, connection to the business network is allowed again. This "software only" security solution is easy to introduce at low costs because the existing network configuration need not be changed.

Automated operation driven by the occurrence of events

Products used in this solution
