Austin, TX – February 15, 2006 – Mirage Networks, Inc., developers of full-cycle Network Access Control™ (NAC) technology, today announced its Mirage NAC solution has won the prestigious 2006 SC Magazine Reader Technology Trust Award, in the Best Anti-Worm Solution category.
The award is validation to Mirage Networks commitment to delivering highly usable, effective network access control. Mirage Network’s family of NAC products protect its customers network from the damage caused by threats and policy violations, on network-attached endpoints. The Mirage NAC solution is:
- developed for the real world of fluid network perimeters, heterogeneous networks and hard-to-manage users
- the industry’s first real full-cycle NAC technology that ensures policy enforcement and threat termination from the moment a device – managed or not – enters the network until it leaves
- easy for IT to deploy and manage without creating a negative user experience or compromising on critical business objectives
“The value of Mirage Networks NAC solution is resonating with our customers and partners because we are solving a real business pain,” said Scott Olson, vice president of marketing, Mirage Networks. “Threats don’t stop when a device comes on the network.So, unlike many, our NAC solution defends against threats spawned in the network interior. Winning the SC Magazine Award is recognition of the benefits of our unique approach: that effective security doesn’t have to be a bigger pain than the pain it’s solving.”
With over 1,300 product and service nominations from over 330 competing companies globally, the SC Awards are the world’s leading awards program for the information security industry. The SC Awards program spans US, Asia, and UK. The SC Awards are composed of both the Reader Trust Technology Awards—voted on by SC readers in each region and the SC Awards Council, a group of carefully selected senior CSOs—and the Professional Awards that are judged by a panel of the industry’s top talents.
Recognizing technical excellence and professional achievement across a variety of different categories, the SC Awards is a truly unique program developed to bring attention to the industry’s top products and highlight the professionals that have both created them and use them within their companies. These industry achievements were acknowledged during the US Awards ceremony which took place at the Fairmont, San Jose on February 14th, 2006.
Mirage Networks develops a unique NAC solution to provide protection against internal and external threats at the access/distribution layer – where users attach to the network. If an infected device is plugged into the network and attempts to propagate an infection, or violate security policies, Mirage’s NAC technology immediately revokes the network access of that device, then offers scanning, targeted quarantine, and self-contained remediation capabilities. This is accomplished without client-based software, network redesign, or the need to continually update signatures.
