Byline: Mamta03

Bradford Networks, a proven leader in securing today's heterogeneous networks, today announced its Network Sentry product family -- the first network security offering that can automatically identify and profile all devices and all users on a network, providing complete visibility and control. Unlike vendor-specific network security products, Bradford's comprehensive, extensible Network Sentry family addresses the network security challenges posed by today's complex threat environment and the operational demands security enforcement places on IT. Specifically:

-- Protecting the network from unauthorized and at-risk users and devices;

-- Ensuring that confidential network resources are protected;

-- Eliminating endpoint vulnerability;

-- Ensuring that security policies are established and enforced;

-- Maximizing existing investments in security systems and network infrastructure;

-- Provisioning, securing and managing user, device and guest access;

-- Detecting and profiling managed and unmanaged devices; and

-- Automating security actions and policy enforcement to unburden IT staff.

Adaptive Network Security handles evolving security threats

The Network Sentry family is based on Bradford's Adaptive Network Security (ANS) platform, the only network security solution that can dynamically adapt to changing security needs by automatically responding and securely provisioning network resources based on pre-established policies. Bradford's Adaptive Network Security platform integrates and correlates network resources, user information and device information to make networks both more secure and more accessible.

"To address emerging threats effectively, we must tear down the silos we've created in information security," said Neil MacDonald, Vice President and Gartner Fellow. "In order to build Adaptive Security Infrastructure, we must integrate multiple security technologies and increase visibility to the users and devices on the network and combine this with more automation of security processes, leading to improved security levels and lower costs."

Flexible platform enables customers to select the specific solutions they need today and in the future

The Network Sentry family consists of Foundation appliances and software-based Solutions and Extensions. Solutions include Access Manager, Guest Manager, Shared Access Tracker and Device Tracker. Extensions include Endpoint Compliance, Device Profiler and Integration Suite.

The Network Sentry family's flexible structure allows users to customize configurations to best meet their particular environment and security needs, and extend it accordingly as their security needs change. Proven solution sets built upon the Network Sentry family include Bradford's award-winning access management solutions Campus Manager and NAC Director which provide integrated access management, endpoint compliance and security policy enforcement for educational institutions, government
