"ConSentry’s Secure LAN Controller product family advances the NAC industry initiative by providing a network-based security approach to protecting networks and business critical IT assets. This approach provides a viable means of making a NAC-enabled framework pervasive."

Cisco Systems

ConSentry has joined Cisco’s NAC program, an industry initiative designed to prevent malicious attacks using network infrastructure to enforce security policy compliance on devices attempting to access enterprise networks. ConSentry’s Secure LAN Controller integrates with the Cisco Trust Agent (CTA) to incorporate granular host posture detail from NAC-compliant end-point agents prior to allowing network access.  Based on the outcome of the host posture assessment, the Secure LAN Controller grants the appropriate level of LAN access and provides further on-going analysis of end-user network activity up to the application level.  This provides the highest level of identity-based networking and control available today.

“The addition of ConSentry Networks to the (Network Access Protection) program provides a LAN-based secure networking approach capable of operating within the network fabric to control and secure user access”

Microsoft

ConSentry has joined Microsoft’s NAP program, a comprehensive platform infrastructure that allows system administrators to monitor and control computer access to corporate networks based on compliance to health policy as well as update non-compliant computers.. ConSentry is integrating its Secure LAN Controller with Microsoft’s Network Access Protection architecture in order to ensure end users comply with corporate health and security policies before being allowed access to an enterprise LAN and authorized resources.  The Secure LAN Controler can quarantine end users that do not have valid Statement of health (SoH) credentials by isolating them to a restricted network for remediation.  In addition, the Secure LAN Controller can restrict user access to only those applications requiring remediation, thereby delivering a second level of control to the quarantine process

“ConSentry’s addition to the TCG is significant because the industry at large is witnessing a dramatic increase in insider security breaches.  As an organization focused on securing enterprise LANs from an in-line networking perspective, ConSentry is bringing a vital solution to market that fully embraces the TNC architecture”

Trusted Computing Group

As a member of the Trusted Computing Group, an industry standards body formed to develop and promote standards for trusted computing and security technologies, ConSentry is supporting the Trusted Network Connect architecture with the Secure LAN Controller.  ConSentry is extending its innovative network access, identity-based networking control and malware containment capabilities to enforce TNC-compliant end point posture checks that determine the security and compliance of clients that attempt to connect to an enterprise LAN.
