Granting and denying network access has evolved beyond simple user name and password verifications. Additional attributes related to users and their devices are used as decision criteria in determining authorized network access. Additionally, network service provisioning can be based on data such as the type of device accessing the network, including whether it is a corporate or personal device.
The Cisco Secure Network Server is a scalable solution that helps network administrators meet complex network access control demands by managing the many different operations that can place heavy loads on applications and servers. The Cisco Secure Network Server 3515 is designed for small and medium-sized deployments.
