Hi Catherine, 

The policy someone mentioned is the mechanism within ClearPass and they may
have provided some additional info covering what you need. Outside of that,
there are a few options/ways in which to feed that information to a NAC
solutions. You can typically get posture info in a few ways:

-          From the posture agent within ClearPass (OnGuard)

-          From a supported MDM with direct integration 

-          From an API, log, or other external trigger with custom rules
(e.g. from SIEM, firewall, endpoint security platform)

 

You may also want to check on the WIRELESS group
WIRELESS-LAN () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU
<mailto:WIRELESS-LAN () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU> , I see a lot of ClearPass
conversations there.

 

Hope that helps! 

 

-jj

Greetings!

 

I've been asked to reach out and ask whether any of your institutions who
use Aruba Clearpass have a policy or procedure for bulk blocking of devices
in the event of something like a ransomware attack.  If you do any of you
have such a thing, are you willing to share?  Thank you in advance!

 

Best,

Cathy
