Most IT organizations have experienced the pain and financial impact of network compromises originated via endpoint devices. The increasing number and types of attacks launched from endpoint devices can no longer be ignored, and organizations must shift and expand their protection. While traditional endpoint security measures are important, they are not sufficient to protect the network from attack. End users often knowingly or unknowingly disable security applications (such as anti-virus software or personal firewalls), neglect to install up-to-date security patches, improperly configure security settings, install restricted software (peer-to-peer, file sharing or instant messaging) or are subject to spyware contamination. All of these issues have historically been beyond the control of IT administrators.

Sentriant AG200 is the next generation in endpoint security appliances that lets administrators regain control by verifying that endpoint devices meet security policy requirements and do not introduce worms, Trojans or spyware into an organization’s network. Sentriant AG200 automatically tests the health of each device, both managed and unmanaged, to verify it meets the organization’s security requirements before allowing access to the network. This proactive approach to managing network access greatly reduces the risk posed by non-compliant or infected devices, without the cost or overhead of manual approaches.

Features

• Advanced endpoint integrity testing—Sentriant AG200 tests each endpoint as it connects to the network to verify that it meets the organization’s security policy before allowing access
• Flexible deployment options—Sentriant AG200 supports several enforcement schemes for easy integration with any network infrastructure without costly network upgrades
• Enterprise-class management and administration— Sentriant AG200 combines centralized system management with multi-user, role-based administration to minimize operational complexity for even the largest networks

Target Applications

• Preventing the introduction of malware or use of high risk software in the network
• Protecting the LAN from remote or foreign devices that are not controlled by the organization
• Security initiatives for regulatory compliance
