Black Box Introduces Cutting-Edge Network Access Control Security Solution

Business Wire
Black Box Corporation (NASDAQ:BBOX), an industry-leading
provider of voice communications, data infrastructure, and product
solutions, announced today its entry into the NAC market with the
introduction of the Veri-NAC™ network access control appliance
family. The Veri-NAC is designed to prevent the kind of costly and
dangerous network security breaches that have recently dominated
headlines.
Veri-NAC only lets authorized computers and devices onto a
defined network. It also checks to make sure each connected machine
complies with specified standards, including up-to-date operating
system, patch management, and hardened configurations. If a device
is deemed to contain vulnerabilities, it can be locked out of the
network except for the resources the user needs to bring the
computer into compliance.
The Veri-NAC solution doesn’t require the installation of
software agents on connected machines. It also works with existing
network and legacy infrastructure, so there’s no need for expensive
upgrades. Plus, Veri-NAC requires no training and minimal
installation time, so even organizations with a limited IT staff
can easily add it to their network security plan without straining
resources. Not only is the up-front cost for Veri-NAC substantially
lower than most other solutions, installation and ongoing
maintenance costs are lower, too—its simplified architecture
dramatically reduces the cost of network access control.
“We’re very excited about our new Veri-NAC offering because its
simplified agentless architecture means it’s both highly secure and
much more cost-effective compared to traditional NAC solutions,”
said Josh Whitney, Black Box product manager. “This is the NAC
solution for organizations that haven’t been able to implement
solid network security because of the high costs and complicated
configurations previously associated with NAC technologies.”
Veri-NAC is just one of many products in Black Box’s extensive
line of networking solutions that includes Optinet™ bandwidth
shaping and content management, Intelli-Pass™ biometric security,
media converters, extenders, terminal servers, and switches. All
products are backed by free, live, 24/7 Tech Support, which
customers can reach at 724-746-5500 or at blackbox.com.
