Network/Physical Access Control Enforcement

Hirsch Electronics has teamed with Juniper Networks and Infoblox to craft a solution that ties physical and network together, increasing protection for both environments. The solution was implemented by the companies using the open Trusted Network Connect architecture and IF-MAP open-standard protocol for metadata exchange endorsed by Trusted Computing Group (TCG). As part of the solution, Hirsch's Velocity Security Management System sent IF-MAP based physical event messages (metadata) to the Infoblox appliance, which in turn notified the Juniper network appliance that enforced Network Access Control (NAC) policies.
