Nevis LANenforcer Secure Switch and Appliance Garner Prestigious Award in Network Security Category
Mountain View, Calif. – August 15, 2007 – Nevis Networks, a market leader in identity-based policy enforcement solutions that control network access and secure sensitive resources, announced today that Info Security Products Guide has named its LANenforcer line of secure switches and appliances, a winner of the 2007 Tomorrow’s Technology Today Award. This prestigious award recognizes security vendors for advanced, groundbreaking network security solutions that that redefine the state-of-the-art in information security. Nevis’ LANenforcer was selected by the editors of Info Security Products Guide based on technologies that are making the most positive impact on security in today’s highly sophisticated and blended attack environment.
The LANenforcer secure switch and inline network appliance enforce identity-based policies in real time from within the network fabric. Each, a highly scalable solution, integrates network access controls with IPS and identity-based firewall functionality for holistic LAN security. LANenforcer employs a four-pronged approach to managing endpoint risk, securing pre and post-connect network access and containing malware, including:
- Endpoint validation: pre-connect and post-connect authentication of the user and system to ensure the health and compliance of the system’s operating environment, mitigating the risk of vulnerabilities and viruses affecting the internal network;
- Identity-based access control: ensuring appropriate access for user groups and roles to specific resources and applications within the internal network;
- Threat containment: going beyond ensuring anti-virus signatures are up to date, Nevis uses state-of-the-art deep packet inspection methods, including signature matching, behavioral, protocol and traffic anomaly detection to protect against a broad range of threats including zero-day attacks;
- User activity monitoring: keeping a detailed audit trail of which users accessed which resources and systems for regulatory and compliance purposes.
