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!

Subject: Bulk blocking of all devices in Aruba ClearPass?

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
