An organization wants to enforce role-based access policies across their entire network to ensure that...

ClearPass decouples security policy from physical location. By using Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) , ClearPass assigns a "Role" (e.g., 'HR' or 'Contractor') during the authentication process. This role is then mapped to network-specific attributes (VLANs, ACLs, or VSAs) that the NAD enforces. Because the policy logic resides in ClearPass, the same user receives the same security privileges whether they connect via a wired port in London or Wi-Fi in New York.
