Overstock.com Picks Bradford Networks' NAC Director
For Network Access Control
Speedy Deployment and Multiple Operating Systems Support Key for Online Retailer
Concord, NH – March 11, 2008 – Bradford
Networks, an award-winning provider of comprehensive network
access control (NAC) solutions, announced today that Overstock.com,
Inc. has selected NAC Director to secure its corporate network.
Overstock selected NAC Director because of its speedy deployment
and easily deployed role-based access control capabilities
for all of its desktop operating systems – Windows, Mac,
and Linux.
By deploying NAC Director, which is being phased in this
quarter, Overstock’s internal network will better support
the corporate culture of collaboration and openness. When the
NAC Director rollout is complete, employees will automatically
have access to applications and network data based on their
identity and job requirements.
“NAC Director helps us solve a workflow issue. We
can now have our developers sit with their in-house clients.
We want free access to anyone in the company,” said Bear
Terburg, Manager of Network Engineering, Overstock.com. “NAC
Director’s role-based access control allows us to foster
a more collaborative environment that will result in better
customer service.”
In addition to improving overall network security, Overstock
will improve its compliance with Payment Card Industry (PCI)
requirements, which recommends a NAC solution to meet its stringent
controls and auditing processes.
“NAC Director’s user-centric approach provides
Overstock and other enterprises with flexible tools to secure
existing networks in a non-intrusive way that can enhance employee
productivity,” said Mike Gadoury, Bradford Networks founder
and CEO.
