Security On-Demand, Inc. Announces Managed NAC Solution Powered by Mirage Networks
'NAC On-Demand' Managed Security Service Represents Security Industry's First NAC Managed Service Offering on the Market
Austin, TX - February 25, 2008 -Mirage Networks, developer of the only patented Network Access Control (NAC) solution and Security On-Demand, Inc., the leading provider of comprehensive On-Demand compliance and security solutions, today announced NAC On-Demand(TM), the first and only full-cycle managed NAC service. The NAC On-Demand(TM) managed security offering utilizes a "Software-as-a-Service" delivery model to provide the benefits of rapid deployment, zero maintenance, and no upfront capital costs.
Mirage enforces endpoint compliance and safeguards networks from threats by providing full-cycle Network Access Control. Mirage technology enables maximum network protection by controlling network access, monitoring network behavior, isolating non-compliant endpoints, and providing self-remediation capability for non-compliant or "out of policy" network users. Mirage's network-based solution requires no agent software, deploys "virtually inline," and works in any environment.
Security On-Demand's(TM) NAC On-Demand(TM) security service is powered by Mirage technology and is the industry's most effective managed security solution that identifies and eliminates endpoint and internal network threats. NAC On-Demand(TM) also provides a way to meet compliance and regulatory requirements without the time drain and on-going expense of maintaining, tuning, staffing, and troubleshooting security infrastructure. This gives the IT staff the resources to focus on supporting core business applications and important projects.
As part of a full-cycle NAC solution, NAC On-Demand(TM) offers two service programs. The "NAC On-Demand(TM) EndPoint Security" service provides monitored protection based around endpoints as they attempt to enter the network and logon to system resources. Security On-Demand(TM) security analysts immediately detect unknown endpoints and assist the client organization to enforce corporate security standards, such as pre-admission security scans and minimum standards for anti-virus definitions and system patches.
The "NAC On-Demand(TM) Network Protection" service provides network based protection services designed to monitor systems "post-admission" or after users are authenticated to the network. Security On-Demand(TM) security analysts continually watch for activity from systems that violate behavioral norms, corporate computing policies, and systems that may be involved in the proliferation of viruses, worms, Trojans and other malware. "Network Access Control is the most significant security development since the introduction of the firewall. In today's organization of fluid network perimeters, everyone needs access control; but many don't have the financial or technical resources to deploy it," said Peter Bybee, president and CEO of Security On-Demand(TM). "Mirage's unmatched deployment and management capabilities have already enabled us to be an extended security team for dozens of our clients around the globe."
"NAC On-Demand(TM) is an excellent solution for organizations in need of Network Access Control but without the resources to effectively manage it on their own," said Greg Stock, president and CEO of Mirage Networks. "Together with Security On-Demand(TM), we have taken the most effective, easiest-to-deploy NAC solution in the marketplace and made it even easier."
