Aktion Mensch Chooses Mirage Networks to Secure Proprietary Information.

German Social Welfare Organization to Deploy Full-Cycle NAC Solution

AUSTIN, Texas -- Mirage Networks([R]), Inc., developer of award-winning network access control (NAC) technology, announced today Aktion Mensch, headquartered in Bonn, Germany, has chosen Mirage Networks Endpoint Control to secure donor and beneficiary information and to protect its network from threats and policy violations which can negatively impact operational cost and productivity.

Aktion Mensch works to secure equal opportunities for Germans living with disabilities, and promotes solidarity and community among people of varying abilities and socio-economic backgrounds. The organization funds most of its projects by administering the largest social lottery in Germany, regularly selling tickets to 7 million people.

"As one of Germany's largest and most successful social aid organizations, Aktion Mensch has a civic responsibility to protect the information about the people we help, and the people who help us," said Zdenko Toni Varnus, IT director, Aktion Mensch. "Mirage Networks Endpoint Control lets us be proactive about safeguarding our network and saves us the time and expense of loading security agents on all our endpoints."

The Mirage Endpoint Control solution monitors all network devices both before and after users attempt to log onto the network, combining pre-admission authentication and compliance checks with post-admission behavioral monitoring. The process delivers a comprehensive, full-cycle NAC solution.

"Aktion Mensch provides a valuable service to the people of Germany," stated Greg Stock, president and CEO, Mirage Networks. "Our company applauds the efforts of Aktion Mensch, and we are pleased to help secure and facilitate their vision. When social welfare organizations are confident about the security of their donor and beneficiary information, they can focus on providing invaluable services and enriching lives."
