Consumers today want anytime, anywhere Internet access via their mobile devices while they shop in stores and eat in restaurants. As a result, many retail establishments now offer Wifi connectivity to their patrons. In addition, these stores need their own network connectivity to connect Point-of-Sale terminals with cardholder databases and other business-critical systems. Under PCI DSS regulations, these networks must be isolated from other networks and are subject to stringent security protections.

In these dynamic and highly distributed environments, it-s critical to actively manage and control network access, and ensure that patrons don-t inadvertently or deliberately access corporate networks and put the organization at risk. In this webinar, Tom Murphy of Bradford Networks will provide key advice on how Network Access Control (NAC) can reduce risk, maintain network integrity and ensure PCI DSS compliance.

Attendees will learn how to:

Easily isolate the cardholder network to prevent unauthorized access to critical systems

Know exactly what devices are connected to the network at any given time

Detect/prevent a rogue device that tries to connect to the wired/wireless cardholder network

Using flexible policies, enable safe wireless access to the cardholder network to authorized devices and users only
