Key Features & Benefits
Single Management Framework Reduces complexity and decreases management cost with network security functions managed through a
singleconsole.
Single Policy Provisioning The same security policy can apply to a user or device regardless of how or where they connect to the network.
Centralized Authentication All users are authenticated against the same user database, regardless of whether they connect to the wired or
wireless network, including temporary guest users.
Role-Based Ports Enables access to certain network ports based on the role of a user within the organization, such as in shared
conference rooms or engineering facilities.
