Overview
ExtremeControl
ExtremeControl gives you full visibility and management over every device connecting to your network. You can automatically identify, authenticate, and authorize users and IoT devices across your entire infrastructure from a single pane of glass. This ensures that only the right people and healthy devices access your sensitive data, whether they are connecting via wired or wireless points.
You can implement granular security policies that follow users as they move throughout your organization. The platform integrates deeply with your existing security stack to provide real-time threat response and automated remediation. By centralizing your access control, you reduce the manual burden on your IT team while significantly strengthening your overall security posture against unauthorized lateral movement.
SafeNet Trusted Access
SafeNet Trusted Access helps you secure your digital transformation by centralizing identity management across all your cloud and on-premises applications. You can eliminate password fatigue for your team by implementing seamless Single Sign-On (SSO) while maintaining strict control over who accesses your data. The platform allows you to create granular access policies that trigger additional authentication only when a login attempt looks risky, ensuring a smooth experience for trusted users.
You can manage a diverse range of authentication methods, from mobile push notifications to hardware tokens, all from a single management console. This flexibility makes it ideal for mid-market and enterprise organizations that need to meet strict compliance requirements without slowing down their workforce. By automating the identity lifecycle, you reduce the administrative burden on your IT team while significantly lowering the risk of a data breach.
