Austin, TX – March 5, 2008 – Mirage Networks, developer of the only patented Network Access Control (NAC) solution, today announced that Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association has deployed its NAC solution to protect against rapidly propagating network attacks. Tri-State, a wholesale electric power supplier, was concerned that worms and viruses could propagate throughout their network and cause serious network down time and losses in productivity.
“Tri-State is scrupulous about all aspects of security, which naturally includes network health and availability. Mirage’s effectiveness at stopping zero-day threats and other network malware made its NAC solution an intuitive fit,” said Joe Dunn, IT operations and network manager for Tri-State. “Furthermore, the solution proved easy to deploy and use both at the administrative office and our widely distributed power plants.”
Mirage safeguards networks from threats by providing full-cycle Network Access Control. Its technology effectively enables maximum network performance by controlling network access, monitoring network behavior, isolating non-compliant endpoints, and providing self-remediation capabilities. Mirage’s network-based solution requires no agent software, deploys “virtually inline,” and works in any environment.
“We are very pleased Tri-State relies on Mirage to protect its network,” said Greg Stock, president and CEO of Mirage Networks. “Mirage remains committed to providing exceptional NAC solutions to customers in every industry.”
