It provides a comprehensive solution for managing access to airport and airline digital infrastructure, including networks, applications, and data. **Key Features:**
* **Multi-factor Authentication (MFA):** SITA Managed Network Access Control (SITA MNAC) leverages multi-factor authentication to enhance security by requiring users to provide multiple forms of identification. This can include passwords, biometrics, or tokens.
“Demand for secure and reliable network access controls is higher than ever, particularly in airports where traffic and device segregation is paramount in different areas of airport infrastructure and security zones,” said Martin Smillie, SITA SVP for Communications and Data Exchange (CDE), “As external threats to digital infrastructure escalate, this solution will ensure that essential communication systems keep ahead, with built-in safeguards at access points and switches. SITA Managed NAC provides complete visibility and control over communication networks, allowing customers to monitor who is accessing what, when, and from where.” Enhancing Compliance and Cyber Resilience SITA Managed NAC aligns with stringent cybersecurity recommendations from authorities like the US Transportation Security Agency (TSA) and the Airports Council International (ACI). The solution provides granular control over network access, detailed logging capabilities, and the ability to quarantine non-compliant devices, helping airports and airlines enhance their cybersecurity posture and ensure regulatory compliance.
Seamless Integration and Zero Trust Security Designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing SITA Campus Network product, SITA Managed NAC enhances network management by offering identity-based access control and policy enforcement based on Cisco’s industry-leading Identity Services Engine (ISE) platform. Utilizing a Zero Trust security model, every access request is authenticated, authorized, and continuously validated, ensuring only verified users and devices can connect to the network. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and potential breaches.
