MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., August 28, 2006 —InfoExpress, the leader in policy and configuration enforcement solutions, today announced that StayinFront has selected InfoExpress’ CyberGatekeeper to help enforce security policy throughout their extended network of employees. StayinFront, Inc., a leading global provider of enterprise-wide customer relationship management (CRM) applications, decision support tools, data services, sample inventory management solutions and eBusiness systems, chose CyberGatekeeper LAN and Remote to protect its’ network from users trying to connect with computers and mobile devices that are non-compliant with corporate security policy. StayinFront, a strategic CRM partner to many of the world’s top life sciences, consumer goods and business companies in over 20 countries, required a comprehensive solution that allowed corporate security policy to be enforced both on the LAN and from remote locations like hotels, homes, and airports. “We found it imperative that our large mobile workforce only connect to the network with infection-free computers which have up-to-date security software that meet the strict standards outlined in our corporate security policy,” said Mike Fredericks, head of IT for StayinFront. “CyberGatekeeper Remote and CyberGatekeeper LAN have deployed seamlessly and have helped to ensure that only security compliant machines are granted access to the network, effectively mitigating internal security threats.” CyberGatekeeper Remote sits between the remote access point and the corporate network. It audits all networked systems continuously for policy compliance. Unqualified systems attempting to access the network are automatically blocked and redirected for remediation. CyberGatekeeper LAN sits out of band and hardens the existing network by only giving access to compliant systems and keeping dangerous systems out. Non-compliant systems are automatically quarantined until remediation brings them back into compliance. “StayinFront realizes that all their computers have a tendency to stray from corporate security policy and ultimately pose a risk to network safety,” said Todd Nakano, executive vice president for InfoExpress. “The CyberGatekeeper solution provides StayinFront with the piece of mind that each endpoint is qualified and remediated prior to granting access to their corporate network. CyberGatekeeper also reduces IT help desk support by assuring that each endpoint has the most up-to-date security software, patches and is compliant with corporate policy.” The InfoExpress CyberGatekeeper network access control solution uses an organization's existing network infrastructure to block network access for wired, wireless and remote endpoint devices that have outdated, unauthorized, misconfigured or missing security utilities, such as anti-virus programs and personal firewalls, or otherwise fail to comply with corporate-mandated security policies. Non-compliant systems are quarantined and remediated before being allowed access to the network, ensuring that viruses, worms, Trojans and other malware and vulnerabilities cannot adversely affect the network through PCs, laptops, PDAs and other devices that fail to comply with current security policies.
