Study and deployment of the PacketFence opensource solution to control the Network Access

Abstract

Companies are subject to daily attacks that could result in a number of catastrophes. Companies might protect their computer systems with the support of a solid security plan. Although the field of security is vast, we are particularly interested in using the posture strategy to control access to their computer network and compliance control of the machine that connects to it. We know that in some institutions, the number of users who frequently request the network is very important, making the need for a solution even more pressing. We have suggested a PacketFence solution that offers a network approach for secure access. The implemented solution effectively manages network access, assigns VLANs dynamically and roles to access that comply with predefined rules, and permits both employees and visitors to bring their own devices. Key words : PacketFence, Network Access Control, Protection, Open-source, Bring your own device.
