Alcatel-Lucent offers a seamless, secure and scalable enterprise network access control solution through its
embedded network security framework. This framework includes a comprehensive security solution for
verifying endpoint integrity through host integrity checking (HIC). The solution is the result of integration
between InfoExpress CyberGatekeeper and the Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch™ 6400 Stackable Gigabit LAN
Switch (SGS), the Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850 Stackable LAN Switch (SLS) and any edge switches using
the Alcatel-Lucent Operating System™ (AOS), Release 6.3.4 or later.
Key features
• Automatically manages the security
fitness of endpoints
• Operates independently of authen -
tica tion mechanism and network
access controls
• Integrates endpoint compliance
directly with the edge switch
• InfoExpress CyberGatekeeper
integration with the Alcatel-Lucent
OmniSwitch™ ensures endpoint device
security policy compliance with quaran -
tine and remediation as required
• Enhanced security at the network
edge with InfoExpress
CyberGatekeeper HIC policy server
• Compatible with Microsoft
®
,
Windows
®
, Mac
®
, Linux, mobile,
PDA
• Captive portal for web-based user
authentication with configurable
web page
• Agents are permanently installed
or provided on-demand
• Dynamic enforcement via access
control lists (ACLs), not VLAN or
IP address changes
• Central policy management delivers
consistent user experience
• Continuous surveillance of endpoint
configuration
Key benefits
• Ensures 100 percent of network
endpoints are compliant (patch
levels, configurations and application
settings) or they are quarantined
until remediated
• Separates authentication mechanism
from security
¬ 802.1x not a requirement for HIC
¬ Endpoints can be plugged into
phones and still be secured
• Will not interfere with existing VoIP
deployments
• Keeps rogue devices off the network
• Reduces vulnerabilities – Security
solutions, OS and patches are assured
to be running and up-to-date
• Lowers help desk costs – Automatic
remediation of non-compliant PCs
• Improves security
compliance/auditing scorecard
• Reduces risks associated with
improperly configured computers
• Integrates with existing patch
management solutions to preserve
software investments
• Reduces support costs by maintaining
standard configurations across
desktops
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch families
of Stackable LAN Switches and
InfoExpress CyberGatekeeper solution
provide enterprise customers with a
comprehensive network access control
and HIC security layer. Enterprise LAN
segments with the OmniSwitch 6400
SGS and the OmniSwitch 6850 SLS
running AOS, Release 6.3.4 or later
benefit from enhanced authentication
and user-profile-enabled network access
control. Enterprise LAN segments with
third-party switches are protected by
InfoExpress CyberGatekeeper Dynamic
Access Control (DNAC) technology.
Wireless and VPN users are protected
by InfoExpress in-line appliances.
Please refer to the InfoExpress
CyberGatekeeper data sheet for
complete details on the InfoExpress
CyberGatekeeper product line.
Through the integrated solution,
enterprises ensure endpoint devices are
verified to be compliant and healthy
when initially connecting to the net -
work. Only those endpoint devices that
are compliant with enterprise security
policies are allowed access to the
production network. Those endpoint
devices that fail the HIC are redirected
at the switch level by the Alcatel-Lucent
Alcatel-Lucent Operating System for OmniSwitch LAN Switches
with Integrated CyberGatekeeper Solution
