Concord, NH – Sep 13, 2007 – Bradford Networks, a leading provider of comprehensive network access control (NAC) solutions, was recognized last month by Current Analysis for its strong track record for meeting market demands and satisfying customers for NAC functionality.

In its annual NAC study of technical, business and operational issues influencing enterprise adoption of NAC, Current Analysis found that 78 percent of Bradford customers would consider Bradford again for future NAC investments. Bradford’s Vendor Retention Score was just three percentage points behind the top score in the study and a full 10 percentage points ahead of Cisco.

“One of the key metrics that Current Analysis captures in its NAC Enterprise Demand Survey is the ability of vendors to retain customers. The vendor retention score is the percentage of respondents who are NAC customers of the vendor and would consider the same vendor for future NAC investments,” said Andrew Braunberg, Research Director, Enterprise Security & Software, Current Analysis. “Bradford's retention score is impressive and suggests that the company's tightly focused NAC strategy has earned it friends in the market.”

“Bradford's consistent ability to deliver advanced technologies that address our network access control issues really sets them apart,” said James Shuart, Manager of Student Computing Services, Hofstra University. “Hofstra first purchased Campus Manager in 2004 to register all student-owned devices on the residence network, then expanded the system in 2005 to add endpoint compliance for all students campus-wide. In 2007 we expanded the Campus Manager system to manage all wireless access and to include Hofstra University School of Law. Security has been dramatically increased and the return on our investment immediate.”

Bradford first delivered its first NAC product, Campus Manager, in 2002 and launched NAC Director for enterprises in January 2007. Bradford Networks has been a leader in providing out-of-band NAC solutions that leverage existing network infrastructure to secure network integrity while automating the process of providing access anytime. Its technology is ideally suited for use in education, health care, finance, government and other public and private organizations.

“The Current Analysis study highlights one of the strengths of our company – a pragmatic understanding of the challenges faced by network administrators. Our technology allows them to easily manage network access across wired, wireless and VPN networks,” said Mike Gadoury, Bradford Networks founder and CEO. “Bradford’s unique seven-point identity profile allows tremendous flexibility to address access control issues today and well into the future.”
