Nevis Acknowledged as an Innovator Combining Security and LAN Performance
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – February 6, 2006 – Nevis Networks, a provider of a new class of wirespeed enterprise LAN security appliances, today announced it has been selected by Red Herring as one of the “Ten Private Security Companies to Watch.” Red Herring is a renowned industry publication that covers technology innovation and entrepreneurial activity. “Enterprise LAN security, especially Network Admission Control (NAC), is recognized as one of the biggest challenges facing IT departments today.” said Charles Dauber, President and CEO of Nevis Networks. “There are lots of start-ups using different methods to address LAN security challenges. This award validates Nevis’ Personal DMZ™ architecture – in-line security inspection of every packet on the LAN at wire speed. We are honored to have been selected for this prestigious award.” Nevis’ LANenforcer™ family of LAN security appliances are the first in the market to enable all critical LAN security tasks to operate in parallel at a full 10Gbps.
Uniquely, LANenforcer integrates clientless NAC, stateful firewall, signature-based threat detection, traffic anomaly, protocol anomaly, behavioral anomaly, endpoint quarantine, and real-time LAN security event correlation. By providing LAN security at wirespeed, Nevis eliminates a difficult tradeoff most enterprises are forced to make between strong security or high network performance. Nevis utilizes its own ASIC-based architecture to deliver the most comprehensive LAN security solution. LANenforcer easily integrates into existing networks and can be deployed at the access layer creating a per-user threat containment envelope. Alternatively, LANenforce appliances can be deployed transparently, aggregating existing access layer switches and enabling fast rollout to a large number of users at unprecedented price/performance.
