How does ESP control access to key systems?
The ESP system implements access control policies at the host level. The ESP Agent runs at the kernel level and monitors all packets in and out of managed machines to assure they conform to policy. Non-compliant traffic is detected and reported, and, optionally, can be blocked. The access control policies can be expressed using the ESP Dynamic Groups, e.g. “Only Finance users can connect to SAP ERP servers.” This enables adaptation of access control policies according to changes in the environment as host group memberships are updated.
