Jazztel Selects ConSentry Networks

ConSentry Networks announces that Jazztel is deploying ConSentry to segment users on the LAN, monitor and restrict LAN usage, and prevent threats from disrupting network services or compromising data. With the ConSentry LANShield solution, Jazztel is poised to securely deliver more innovative services for its residential and corporate users as well as for its wholesale carrier business.

Jazztel relies on the ConSentry solution to protect assets between its data center supporting 600 employees in Madrid and a new call center, supporting more than 1000 users running front- and back-office applications in Argentina. Given the geographical split, Jazztel IT staff needed better tools to understand who is doing what on the LAN, where they're located, and when they're making changes.

The ConSentry LANShield platform enables Jazztel IT to easily embed security directly into the LAN infrastructure. Its intelligent switching architecture delivers a complete understanding of the user, device, role, applications, and network destinations of all LAN traffic. Having this business context makes it simpler for Jazztel and all ConSentry customers to understand what is happening on the LAN and apply the appropriate policies.

ConSentry delivers intelligent switching in both the LANShield Switch and the LANShield Controller. The LANShield Switch is a gigabit Ethernet wiring closet switch, while the LANShield Controller is a transparent appliance that sits between the existing wiring closet switches and the distribution or core switches.
