StillSecure Launches Most Flexible Network Access Control Solution Publication date: Monday, 14 November 2005 Safe Access™ v4.0 Offers Three Testing Methods and Four Enforcement Mechanisms to Provide Seamless Integration into Virtually Any Network Environment (Louisville, Colo. – November 14, 2005) – StillSecure, provider of an award-winning, integrated suite of enterprise network security solutions, today announced StillSecure Safe Access v4.0. Safe Access offers unmatched flexibility and choice with three endpoint testing methods and four policy enforcement methods. These include truly agent-less/client-less, agent- based, and ActiveX testing options; and DHCP, in-line (Gateway), NAC, and 802.1x enforcement options. With multiple, flexible testing and enforcement options, Safe Access seamlessly integrates into virtually any enterprise network and can test and enforce against the complete range of user types (internal LAN, wireless, unmanaged, remote, guest, etc.). v4.0 includes support for 802.1x, which uses hardware-level policy enforcement to provide one of the most secure methods for quarantining devices. Safe Access leverages 802.1x-compliant switches to control access, placing endpoints on the appropriate VLAN (quarantine VLAN, guest VLAN, production VLAN for example) based on test results. Devices testing compliant are granted access. Non-compliant devices are either quarantined or are given a ‘grace period’ of access. In quarantine, remediation of devices can be accomplished automatically by leveraging Safe Access’ Enterprise Integration Framework (EIF) to integrate with a number of patch management solutions, or users can be directed to resources to “self- remediate” their devices. Through 802.1x integration, Safe Access can take advantage of “on the fly" dynamic VLAN quarantining. Devices can be quarantined into an unlimited number of VLANs based on the status of their security posture. For example, an infected device can be placed into its own VLAN to minimize the spread of worms, Trojans, and viruses. Similarly, departmental groups (e.g. finance, marketing) can be assigned to a VLAN for departmental access to the network. In addition, 802.1x solves the problem of what to do with guest devices that are unable to supply credentials and cannot be authenticated. These devices can now be placed into their own VLAN for restricted network access. “Safe Access is a rapidly maturing network access control product and the v4.0 release further expands end user options for flexible testing and enforcement,” said Andrew Braunberg, Senior Analyst at Current Analysis. “With v4.0, all testing methods work with all enforcement methods which enables Safe Access to control network access for the full range of user types – including trusted and untrusted, foreign and internal, remote, and wireless endpoints.” “Safe Access uses a purpose-built network access control engine to provide a highly scalable, flexible endpoint security product that can test thousand of devices a minute,” said Mitchell Ashley, CTO and VP of Customer Experience at StillSecure. “Safe Access’ multiple testing and enforcement options allow enterprises to secure their networks from all endpoints, regardless of the network topology, configuration, or hardware.” Also New in Safe Access v4.0: * Safe Access Enterprise Integration Framework™ patch management connector – Integration with BigFix® and Microsoft SMS is natively supported; additional patch management integrations are in development and available on request. * Anti-spyware support – Adding to the most comprehensive suite of tests available, Safe Access now tests for the following anti-spyware solutions: Aluria Software™ Spyware Eliminator, Computer Associates PestPatrol®, Lavasoft Ad-Aware Plus and Ad-Aware Professional, McAfee® Anti-Spyware Enterprise, Microsoft Windows Anti-Spyware, and Sunbelt Software CounterSpy. * Self remediation – Automatic end-user notification when devices are deficient and the process for remediation. About Safe Access Using Safe Access, administrators create Access policies that: (1) define which applications and services are permitted and (2) specify the actions to be taken when devices do not comply. Safe Access automatically applies access policies to devices as they log onto the network. Based on test results, devices are either permitted or denied network access or quarantined to a specific part of the network, thus enforcing organizational security standards. Pricing and availability StillSecure Safe Access v4.0 is available now from StillSecure or through any of its authorized resellers. Safe Access is available on an annual, fixed-cost subscription basis or through a purchase-plus-maintenance model based on the number of total users. Both options include all standard security tests and test updates, software upgrades, and engineer-delivered technical support. For a Safe Access trial contact StillSecure sales at .
