Mountain View, California, January 23, 2007 - InfoExpress, the leader in policy and configuration enforcement solutions, announced today new benchmark report findings that reveal that for companies considering implementing Network Access Control (NAC), finding a solution that has a low impact on current network infrastructures is a top priority. According to the report, 44 percent of respondents that had already implemented a NAC solution indicated that they selected solutions with low impact on current systems, network and infrastructure design to help them overcome implementation challenges. In addition, 40 percent of companies indicated they selected solutions that integrated with their existing network infrastructure to overcome implementation challenges. These findings are part of the latest Aberdeen Research benchmark report, "Endpoint Security Strategies Part I: The Network Access Control Benchmark." The report, which examined the practices of over 120 enterprises, points to evidence that suggests companies are looking for NAC solutions that will integrate with their current network infrastructure and will have little impact on current systems. "The results in this report echo what we've been hearing from our customers for several years now," said Stacey Lum, CEO of InfoExpress. "We designed CyberGatekeeper with Dynamic Network Access Control (DNAC) with this information in mind, and now have a product that provides granular access control and policy enforcement without requiring any changes to current network infrastructure". DNAC's revolutionary peer-to-peer-based enforcement model can turn compliant endpoints into dynamic policy enforcement points that block unauthorized, noncompliant users from connecting to the network. This is especially well-suited for handling rogue endpoints and guests. DNAC enforcers are unique because they quarantine noncompliant endpoints from the rest of the network, even from those PCs and servers not running the DNAC software. No other NAC vendor uses peer-based technology to control network access by leveraging the large number of existing endpoints on the network as dynamic policy enforcement points. "Results from our recent Network Access Control Benchmark survey indicate that nearly half of organizations surveyed plan on deploying a NAC solution in 2007," said Mounil Patel, vice president and research director at Harte-Hanks Aberdeen Research and author of the report. "InfoExpress, with an easily deployable NAC solution, is well positioned to address the needs of a significant market share from this group." Further findings from the study show that of the companies that rejected a NAC solution, the top reasons were cost and impact to current network infrastructure (64 percent), complexity in deployment (55 percent) and inability to integrate the NAC solution with their current IT systems (36 percent).
