Mirage Networks, developer of patented,
full-cycle
Network Access Control (NAC) technology, today announced that North
Lindsey College, the largest provider of post-16 education and training
in North Lincolnshire, has selected Mirage Networks’ NAC solution to
secure the wired and wireless networks across campus. The college is
protecting their students by deploying full-cycle NAC from Mirage
Networks using the MAX-500 appliance.
We are pleased to have North Lindsey College join our list of education customers around the globe
“Our students bring all kinds of devices to our campus daily and gain
access to our wired and wireless networks,” said Keith Urry, Senior
Network and ICT Security Officer at North Lindsey College. “Mirage’s
policy enforcement allows every authorized endpoint onto the network,
but continuously monitors them to ensure they follow pre-set user
guidelines. This gives students the freedom to access the network as
needed, and also gives our IT administrators the peace of mind that
there will be no network disruptions due to non-compliant endpoints.”
Mirage’s NAC solution enables maximum network performance by controlling
network access, isolating non-compliant and threatening endpoints, and
providing self-remediation capabilities. Mirage’s network-based solution
is the easiest NAC solution to deploy, as it requires no agent software,
deploys virtually
inline, and works in any network environment.
“We are pleased to have North Lindsey College join our list of education
customers around the globe,” said Peter Ruijters, vice president of EMEA
and India for Mirage Networks. “The unpredictable environments of
college campuses present unique challenges to the IT staffs and their
budgets. Mirage’s full-cycle NAC solution was designed for this exact
purpose – to account for all the network craziness and still ensure
compliance and network uptime.”
Mirage solutions are made available through Authorized ChannelFirst
Partners and can also be delivered as a managed service.
