Description

Switch Protector serves as an additional engine for Switch Center software, delivering Network Access Control (NAC) by leveraging IEEE-802.1X features across managed network switch ports, thereby safeguarding networks against potential intruders, unauthorized connections, and harmful activities from within the organization. This NAC monitoring software functions as a robust security solution, integrating a diverse array of access protection rules aimed at both intrusion detection and prevention. Its real-time protection monitor is designed to identify new network connections or any alterations within the network, including detecting suspicious activities that could pose a threat. The software's built-in protection rules facilitate the enforcement of network security policies, ensuring proactive access control for any network nodes that breach the established security measures. Moreover, users can manage the protection engine through an integrated administration interface or via the organization's intranet web, providing an efficient way to control access permissions for authorized network nodes. As a result, Switch Protector significantly enhances the overall security posture of the network environment.

Description

Enterprise campus networks, remote sites, and data center infrastructures are transitioning from numerous Cisco Catalyst switches to PicOS Software Switches, utilizing hardware from Dell and Edgecore. Pica8’s AmpCon™ Network Controller streamlines and automates switch deployments via a unified graphical user interface, serving as an alternative to Cisco DNA Center. This transition not only enhances operational freedom but also reduces costs, a benefit that resonates with every executive at the C-level. As a sophisticated network controller, AmpCon oversees the lifecycle of countless open network switches within enterprise campuses and branch or retail office access networks. The platform consists of a suite of server-based tools that empower organizations to remotely install, configure, and provision hundreds or even thousands of PicOS Software Switches on white box hardware. Furthermore, AmpCon stands out as the first solution to integrate both advanced proprietary and open technologies, granting network operators unprecedented visibility and control over their networking software. This innovative approach ensures enterprises can adapt to changing technological needs more efficiently than ever before.
