Data Center Company Strengthens Data and Network Security with Portnox CLEAR NAC-as-a-Service

Aunalytics (formerly Data Realty) is a data platform company delivering answers for your business. Named a Digital Innovator by analyst firm Intellyx, and selected for the prestigious Inc. 5000 list, Aunalytics provides Insights-as-a-Service to answer enterprise and mid-sized companies’ most important IT and business questions. The Aunalytics cloud-native data platform is built for universal data access, advanced analytics and AI while unifying disparate data silos into a single golden record of accurate, actionable business information.

Data and Network Security Challenges

Aunalytics sought to provide guaranteed and measurable data and network security for its geographically diverse workforce, and to operate without a large internal active directory or traditional corporate network. The company had a large workforce that was either mobile, worked from home or reported to an office. This meant there were many endpoints connecting to the network in a variety of ways. Furthermore, many employees dealt with sensitive data analytics for its wide-ranging client base – the company’s developers, for example, were required to adhere to industry standard data and network security requirements and regulations in an open and audible fashion.

Before partnering Portnox, this situation posed a significant challenge for Aunalytics. Additionally, it meant a a large investment in time and resources to manage the fleet of PCs and laptop. Ensuring 100% compliance with company data security protocols including anti-virus, firewalls, and more was no small feat.

The Solution: Portnox CLEAR Cloud-Native NAC

With Portnox CLEAR, Aunalytics was able keep current anti-virus signatures up-to-date, ensure internal policies were enforced regarding OS patch level, and monitor disc-encryption and passwords. Portnox allowed Aunalytics to guarantee compliance with external auditing regulations and to see this compliance in real-time as needed. Portnox CLEAR was installed without any assistance, and has been 100% reliable since being configured and on-boarded across the organization.
