SITA has launched its new cyber security hardening solution, SITA Managed NAC (Network Access Control).
SITA’s new innovative solution is designed to safeguard mission-critical infrastructure at airports and for airlines, addressing the growing demand for secure and reliable access for end users and assets.
With increasing threats to digital infrastructure, particularly in complex environments like airports, SITA Managed NAC offers unparalleled protection for Local Area Network (LAN) and Wireless LAN communications with additional layers of identification checks and network segmentation. This ensures that airports and airlines comply with industry security standards while maintaining operational efficiency and protecting passenger systems.
In a press release, SITA’s Senior Vice-President for Communications and Data Exchange, Mr. Martin Smillie noted that 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.
Mr. Smillie went ahead to reiterate that 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.
