Considering 802.1X?
Great Bay solves the most compelling challenge in enabling 802.1X; the discovery, provisioning, and monitoring of non-EAP
endpoints.
Great Bay's Beacon Endpoint Profiler generates and maintains a comprehensive directory of all network attached endpoints;
most notably the non-authenticating (non-EAP) endpoints such as Printers, UPS', VOIP phone, WLAN Access Points, HVAC systems,
PXE boot hosts, Badge readers. Etc.
Considering NAC?
Great Bay Software's Beacon is leveraged by the industries leading NAC vendors including Cisco, Juniper and Symantec. Each
of these vendors has integrated with Great Bay's Beacon Endpoint Profiler to provide a more effective method of accommodating
and securing the non-NAC endpoints that comprise up to two thirds of all network attached endpoints in the Enterprise.
Need a comprehensive view of EVERYTHING connected to the network?
Great Bay Software's Beacon discovers all network attached endpoints and provides real time and historical contextual views
of endpoint identity, addressing, and location data.
Looking to resolve a recent audit finding?
Great Bay Software's Beacon has been deployed in networks to resolve or avoid audit findings related to FISMA, HIPAA, Sarbanes
Oxley, and other internal audit and compliance metrics.
Looking for more effective closed loop Incident Response process?
The most frequent shortfall of effective Incident Response methods is the reality that the event of interest occurred at some
point in the past. Using Beacon's historical and contextual views, the Incident Response technician is able to align the
address, location and identity of the endpoint at the time of the event with the same attributes of the endpoint at present.
This allows the incident to truly be closed as the offending station can be located and remediated independent of current
address and location.
