ConSentry Networks Organizations today are grappling with how to regain control over their LANs. The dynamic application landscape, changing user population, proliferation of headless devices, embrace of digital storage of intellectual property - not to mention the scarcity of IT resources to manage it all - have tremendously complicated the task of controlling what users can do on the LAN. IT needs intelligent control to take back their LANs. A true understanding of users and devices, along with full knowledge of applications at Layer 7, is essential to regaining control. ConSentry's intelligent control enables IT to efficiently support NAC, ensure application performance, apply role-based controls to users, accelerate troubleshooting, and achieve compliance.
