SignaCert Joins Microsoft's Network Access Protection (NAP) Program
Posted on: Wednesday, 29 November 2006, 06:00 CST
SignaCert today announced that it has joined the Microsoft Network Access Protection (NAP) program. By supporting Microsoft's Network Access Protection technology, SignaCert demonstrates its continuing commitment to enterprise security and integrity through interoperability with complementary technologies. Together with Microsoft, SignaCert will help organizations of all sizes to fully utilize network access protection within their networks.
Network Access Protection is a policy enforcement technology built into the Windows Vista and Windows Server "Longhorn" operating systems that allows customers to better protect network assets from unhealthy computers by enforcing compliance with network health policies. Microsoft's Network Access Protection technology will be publicly available with Beta 2 of Windows Vista, and available to select partners and customers with Beta 2 of the future version of Windows Server, codename "Longhorn."
SignaCert's trust-based solution gives IT organizations visibility and fine-grained controls into the state of devices within a network and allows them to more precisely determine a client's health at any given moment. This combination allows clients to be evaluated as part of network access within the Network Access Protection framework. The SignaCert solution complements existing security approaches like anti virus and intrusion detection systems, creating a strong foundation to help IT organizations gain control of their end-points. Network Access Protection and SignaCert provide a strong technology value proposition for customers who increasingly seek better visibility and confidence in their IT environment.
"We are pleased to support the Microsoft Network Access Protection program and welcome the opportunity to work together to meet our common goal of providing organizations with more effective technology solutions," said Wyatt Starnes, Chief Executive Officer, SignaCert. "By working with the Microsoft Network Access Protection program, our customers will enjoy the full advantage of knowing they can easily work with industry-standard Network Access Protection products to help them create a more manageable and secure enterprise."
"To maintain a secure network, organizations must validate and enforce endpoint health and security policies on every device before allowing them to connect to, or communicate with, their IT infrastructure," said Mike Schutz, senior product manager, Windows Server Division at Microsoft Corp. "Microsoft welcomes SignaCert's support in providing enhanced security for customers."
