Stonesoft Partners with Bradford Networks to Improve Network Security and Access
NAC Solution Provides for Network Usage Control and Enforcement
ATLANTA – July 23, 2007 – Stonesoft, an innovative
provider of integrated network security and resilient connectivity
solutions, announced today the formation of a joint marketing
partnership with Bradford Networks, a recognized leader in
Network Access Control (NAC). The partnership enables network
administrators to quickly identify and enforce network usage
policy violations down to the individual user and machine levels.
The combination of solutions from Stonesoft and Bradford provide
organizations with the most comprehensive approach to layered
security available on the market today.
Today’s organizations
support an escalating number of devices connected to the network – whether
it’s
the laptops and handhelds from the company’s own employees
or the devices from outside consultants and contractors. The
combination of StoneGate’s Secure Connectivity solutions
and Bradford’s NAC Director reduces the security risks
inadvertently brought into the network. Additionally, the combined
solutions help organizations provide contractors and consultants
with selective access to systems – versus access to the
whole network – maintaining integrity of the corporate
data.
-
Comprehensive NAC capabilities including identity management,
end-point compliance and usage policy enforcement;
-
Out-of-band architecture across wireline, wireless,
and VPN networks that enables organizations to leverage
existing infrastructure and easily integrate NAC technology
without network downtime; and
-
Extensive interoperability to work with a wide range
of existing infrastructures as well as different operating
systems and security applications.
-
A proven, highly scalable network security platform that
handles single-site environments and a few dozen users with
the same ease as thousands of sites and tens of thousands of
users with no sacrifices in manageability, security, robustness
or performance.
“Bradford Networks gives us a leading edge offering that addresses specific
challenges that our customers are currently facing in network security,” said
Paul Johnson, President for Stonesoft Americas. “ Bradford’s NAC
Director is an excellent complement to our firewall, VPN and IPS offerings.”
