Jul 02, 2004 – (HostReview.com) - Enterasys Networks (NYSE: ETS), the Secure Networks CompanyTM, introduced on Wednesday the Trusted End-System (TES), a Secure NetworksTM solution that successfully addresses a major challenge facing enterprises: avoiding network downtime and lost business productivity and revenue as a result of allowing vulnerable or infected machines from accessing the network.
"Seventy percent of threats are internal to the network; they come not from outsiders hacking in, but from authorized users who inadvertently carry worms and viruses on their laptops when they connect to the network," said Cynthia Gallant, senior vice president of Enterasys' Secure Networks Group. "TES helps businesses avoid the lost productivity of downtime and the costs of recovering from attacks by ensuring endpoints are screened before they are allowed on the network.
Available now, TES is the industry's first solution to address this problem by integrating desktop security products with enterprise-wide policy management. Providing the highest level of network security achievable today, this integrated approach enables security enforcement at a granular user level.
TES is based on granular user and port-level policy control technologies, rather than on a group-based VLAN containment approach. Implementing VLAN configuration puts added strain on overburdened IT resources.
Combining the vulnerability assessment and end-system scanning features of industry-leading security software with the identity management and dynamic policy enforcement capabilities of a Secure Networks infrastructure, Enterasys' policy-based approach eliminates the complexities and deployment costs of traditional VLAN approaches.
