ACCESS CONTROL AND SEGMENTATION

Centralized control over who and what connects to your network.

A common policy for multivendor environments.
Control and containment from Layer 2.

Access control uses identity, device, posture, and context to determine what connectivity each connection should receive. Its centralized engine, based on TAGs, dynamically applies the appropriate policy.

What is Access Control

A centralized engine to authorize and control every connection

Identifies who and what is trying to connect, validates if they are authorized, and applies the corresponding policy based on identity, device, posture, and context.

First, prevent unauthorized access. Then, control the scope of legitimate access.

01
Authenticate

Validate the user or device before allowing access

02
Check

Evaluate ownership, profile, posture, and other relevant conditions

03
Assign

Apply the corresponding connectivity and segmentation

04
Contain

Restrict, isolate, or block from Layer 2

The challenge

Every network connection is a point of exposure

Every connection must be validated and receive only the connectivity that corresponds to its identity, posture, and function.

Control must start at the connection point and limit exposure from Layer 2.

01
Unauthorized access

Unknown users or devices may attempt to enter through wired or wireless connections.

02
Identity does not guarantee trust

A legitimate user may use a personal, unmanaged device or one with an inadequate posture.

03
Overly broad connectivity

An authorized connection can reach more systems and segments than necessary.

04
Lack of traceability

Without a reliable record, it is difficult to prove / provide evidence of who or what connected, when, and what access they received.

Core architecture

A centralized policy that converts context into control

The policy is defined centrally. TAGs determine when it should be applied.

CONTEXT

Identity, device, posture, location, Visibility, and external systems.

TAGS / LABELS

Corporate, BYOD, provider, compliant, IoMT, or critical location.

POLICY

The engine evaluates TAGs against the rules defined by the organization.

LAYER 2 CONTROL

Authorize, segment, limit, isolate, disconnect, or block.

Connection process

Each connection is evaluated before receiving access

ONE applies the OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) model to connect the different phases of the response and reduce the time needed to understand a situation and act upon it.

The entire process maintains situational awareness, traceability, and human control.

1

IDENTIFY

Who or what is trying to connect.

2

AUTHORIZE

Validate if they can access.

3

CHECK

Device, posture, and context.

4

ASSIGN TAGS

Represent the conditions.

5

APPLY

Access, restriction, or blocking.

Authorized access Restricted / limited access Quarantine Blocking
Layer 2 Control

Contain risk from the connection point

The policy acts at the access layer to prevent unauthorized entries and immediately limit the connectivity of a connection that does not meet the defined conditions.

Containment from Layer 2 reduces the paths available for lateral movement and acts at the level closest to the device.

Block

Prevent the entry of unauthorized users or devices.

Segment

Assign the connection to the corresponding segment.

Limit

Allow only necessary communications.

Isolate

Move a device to a quarantine network.

Agnostic by design

A common policy over a heterogeneous network

Network Control centralizes access and segmentation without linking the security policy to a specific manufacturer.

Infrastructure can change. The security policy remains.

Site A
Manufacturer 1
Site B
Manufacturer 2
Site C
Legacy infrastructure
Results

Prevents unauthorized access. Limits exposure within the network

Control before allowing access

Validate users and devices and block unauthorized connections.

Containment from Layer 2

Restrict, isolate, or disconnect from the access point.

Access based on context and posture

Assign connectivity based on identity, device, function, and TAGs.

Dynamic Segmentation

Apply the appropriate segment without depending on static configurations.

Traceability of every connection

Provide evidence of who or what connected, when, from where, and what policy was applied.

Featured Use Case

Incident containment from Layer 2

The response is applied to the network, without depending solely on a subsequent manual action.

SIGNAL OR CHANGE OF CONTEXT

A device receives a risk indicator, loses authorization, or stops meeting a defined condition.

POLICY EVALUATION

New TAGs are compared against the centralized policy corresponding to that connection.

LAYER 2 CONTROL

Network Control restricts connectivity, reassigns the VLAN / ACLs to Layer 2, quarantines, or blocks the connection.

RESULT

The organization contains the problem at its point of origin and stops lateral movement.
