Bradford Networks ( News - Alert), provider of comprehensive network access control (NAC) solutions, has teamed with Aruba Networks, Inc., developer of user-centric networks and secure mobility solutions, to devise an advanced technology capable of expanding Aruba’s existing NAC capabilities. Both the companies will work together to develop Endpoint Compliance System (ECS) and Aruba will have the exclusive right to market, sell, and support the system worldwide.
Bradford Networks introduced its first NAC products in 2002. Since then, the company has been delivering advanced NAC solutions that leverage existing network infrastructure to secure network integrity and automate network access control.
“Aruba’s new ECS appliance, co-developed by Bradford, works with Aruba’s per-user stateful firewall technology to create an integrated security infrastructure that verifies identity and enforces policies across both wireless and wireline networks,” said Mike Gadoury, Bradford Networks founder and CEO. “The work with Aruba has resulted in an advanced NAC solution that is ideal for mobile users. The combined solution manages identity, enforces network usage policy, and maintains corporate standards for endpoint compliance.”
With its NAC solutions for wired, wireless and VPN networks, Bradford Networks aims to solve the network access control challenges facing enterprises, institutions and government. Bradford’s NAC appliances, for instance, facilitates automated access control services.
