Top Layer Security, a leading global provider of Network Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), will be demonstrating its joint IPS and NAC network security solution with Bradford Networks at Educause 2008, October 28 – 31 in Orlando. The joint solution integrates Top Layer’s IPS 5500 E-Series Intrusion Prevention System and Bradford Networks’ new Campus Manager Behavior Management and Control solution, extending campus security protection from the network core out to the point of network access.
The integration of Top Layer IPS and Bradford NAC technologies provides a comprehensive security solution that protects the network from core to edge. The combined solution enables organizations to continuously assess their networks for security threats and vulnerabilities; identify the responsible users or devices; and take immediate and appropriate actions at the point of entry to the network to ensure continued security and availability of network services.
“Education institutions face an increasingly menacing security challenge of providing open and readily available network access to students, faculty and staff, while protecting against security breaches that can lead to loss of personal data or network degradation,” said Ken Pappas, vice president of marketing and security strategist at Top Layer Security. “Our joint solution extends critical protections from the network core to the endpoints, ensuring that academic institutions can provide secure and reliable network services.”
Top Layer Security will be demonstrating the joint solution at the Bradford Networks booth, #519. For additional information on the partnership, please visit www.toplayer.com.
