Technical Details for ConSentry LANShield Controller CS1000-ACAC

ConSentry LANShield Controller CS1000-ACAC ... application intelligence that makes applying controls and segmenting users on the LAN much easier than using traditional tools such as VLANs or ACLs, lowering IT's cost of operations.

Custom silicon provides the foundation for these control capabilities. This custom hardware includes a multi-core processor and programmable ASICs that perform packet processing for monitoring and control at up to 10 Gbps. The programmability of the hardware enables ConSentry to keep pace with changes in applications and security requirements.

The LANShield intelligent switching architecture enables enterprises to monitor and control all user traffic with minimal impact on the existing infrastructure. ConSentry leverages existing OS authentication mechanisms, such as the Windows login. The LANShield Controllers enforce policy directly, without the need for new VLANs or ACLs in the network or new supplicants or agents on the clients.
