Concord, NH – December 15, 2008 – For the second consecutive year, Bradford Networks, a leading provider of comprehensive network access control (NAC) solutions, was named an SC Magazine Innovator of the Year for its NAC solutions.

In the December 2008 issue of the magazine, SC Magazine Technology Editor Peter Stephenson saluted Bradford’s “breadth and depth of product line” and wrote that its greatest strength is “ability to see emerging needs and deep commitment to customers.”

SC Magazine also applauded several of Bradford’s accomplishments, ranging from its “focus on serious industry needs” to the technical ability to identify rouge devices on the network.

In its special section, SC Magazine selected innovators that have “a road map that is based on a clear view of future requirements” and that are “so customer-driven that they make a lot of their product decisions based on known market needs both today and tomorrow.”

“SC Magazine recognizes several of Bradford’s greatest strengths, including our commitment to provide customers with advanced security solutions that also help reduce the administrative burden on IT,” said Mike Gadoury, Bradford Networks founder and CEO.

During 2008, Bradford expanded its NAC Director and Campus Manager product lines with four new point solutions to help organizations take a simple first step in introducing NAC to their networks. Guest Contractor Services (GCS), User Visibility and Control (UVC), Device Profile and Control (DPC), and Behavior Monitoring and Control (BMC) help IT teams control either users, devices, or suspicious behavior and provide detailed audit trails for regulatory compliance reporting. The entry-level priced offerings enable IT teams to automate numerous administrative tasks and are easily upgraded to provide comprehensive NAC capabilities.
