Bradford Networks offers a comprehensive, extensible product line through its Network Sentry™ family. Bradford’s Network Sentry family integrates with IT infrastructure and correlates network, security, endpoint device, and user information to provide total visibility and control over every user and device on the network. Based upon Bradford’s Adaptive Network Security platform architecture, the Network Sentry family delivers powerful security solutions capable of addressing a wide range of business challenges. 

For starters, the Network Sentry family provides complete visibility of all network users and network-attached devices, allowing organizations to secure their critical IT assets and prevent unauthorized network access. Authorized network users may include internal users (e.g., corporate employees, hospital staff, or university faculty) as well as guest users (e.g., visitors, business partners, contractors and the like). Network-attached devices may include PCs, laptops, handheld PDAs, IP phones, printers, HVAC systems, medical devices, and countless other IP-enabled devices on today’s networks.

The Network Sentry family enables flexible security policies and network usage policies to be created and dynamically enforced network-wide for the highest levels of security and control. At the same time, the workload on IT staff is significantly reduced by automating a range of security functions that otherwise must be performed manually by highly-skilled personnel.

Real-time and historical network activity data are logged and stored in a central database, providing a wealth of information and reporting capability for network management, security threat analysis and regulatory compliance.
