Through the Technology Alliance Program, Bradford and its partners work together to ensure the tightest integration. Our joint alliance enables us to mutually share and test equipment and to co-operatively market and promote our products. This alliance provides customers with more robust security solutions.
Brocade (Foundry) and Bradford Networks enable administrators to add role-based identity management, endpoint compliance, and usage policy enforcement to the Foundry infrastructure by leveraging the security capabilities inherent in Foundry switches.
Bradford Networks joined the HP AllianceONE program, which provides hardware and software vendors, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and systems integrators the tools and resources they need to more effectively address client needs. Bradford’s best of breed network access control (NAC) solutions integrate seamlessly with HP’s extensive wired and wireless networking product portfolio to enable customers to address today’s security challenges.
The integration between Lancope®’s StealthWatch™ System for Network Behavior Analysis (NBA) and Bradford Networks’ Network Sentry now allows institutions and enterprises to automatically address suspicious behavior at the network edge. This joint solution ensures that malicious or suspicious network behavior from users or devices is discovered and flagged so that access control actions can take place at the offender’s point of network access. By combining Lancope and Bradford Networks’ robust security capabilities, organizations can continuously assess hosts responsible for disrupting network performance and quickly quarantine offenders before any impact to network availability.
Sourcefire’s leading Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) with Real-time Network Awareness (RNA) will alert Bradford Network’s Network Sentry to network events that require action or remediation, such as limiting network access or denying it all together. With Sourcefire’s Bradford Networks Remediation Module, customers who also have Bradford Network Sentry can now automatically remediate malicious activity, vulnerabilities, and policy violations across all network assets.
The award-winning StoneGate Platform unifies Firewall, VPN and IPS to provide secure, optimized, resilient connectivity all from a centrally managed system. With StoneGate you can keep your network secure and your connections constant so your business can continue to grow and prosper. Together, StoneGate and Bradford Networks’ NAC provide a powerful combination of intrusion prevention, detection, and post-admission Network Access Control (NAC).
When StoneGate IPS detects that a user has violated the network security policy, it sends alert data to Bradford Networks’ NAC solution, which can take appropriate action and disconnect the user or the IP address from the network.
The integration between Top Layer’s IPS 5500 E-Series Intrusion Prevention System and Bradford Networks’ Network Sentry allows organizations to automatically thwart network attacks and vulnerabilities, and to take appropriate responsive actions – such as quarantining threatening endpoint devices – at the edge of the network where traffic originates. Modeled on a defense-in-depth approach, this joint solution combines award-winning IPS and NAC solutions from Top Layer and Bradford to extend security protection from the network core out to the point of network access. The technology integration allows organizations to continuously assess their networks for security threats, identify responsible users and/or devices, and take appropriate actions to ensure continued security and availability of network services.
