Rapid NAC Deployment Technology Extends Network Access Protection Through Secure But Flexible Endpoint Control

Chantilly, VA (PRWEB) February 28, 2008 -- Blue Ridge Networks, a leading provider of high assurance security solutions to business and government, today announced that it will release an endpoint security solution that works with Windows Server 2008 to provide customers increased control of fixed, remote and mobile endpoints.

The Blue Ridge/Secure EdgeGuard technology prevents end-users from making system changes that can expose the organization to malware attacks or worse. The solution ensures that client security software is continuously running, contains at-risk applications that could potentially be exploited, identifies pirated software, enforces endpoint settings that prevents users from altering system configurations, automatically and remotely corrects vulnerabilities, quarantines at-risk endpoints and enforces location-specific policies.
