Mirage Networks, developer of patented,
full-cycle
Network Access Control (NAC) technology, today announced that Cape Fear
Community College, a North Carolina community college with over 26,000
students, has selected Mirage Networks NAC to protect their campus
network from threats. CFCC will initially deploy Mirage’s full-cycle NAC
for 2500 endpoints, implementing both pre- and post-admission threat
protection to insure that only authorized devices can access the campus
network.
We are faced with the challenge of obtaining device compliance within our employee network
“We are faced with the challenge of obtaining device compliance within
our employee network,” said Kris Pratt, Network Administrator at Cape
Fear Community College. “With Mirage, we have the capability to set our
own pre-admission policy standards, and once fully deployed we will be
in complete control of who gains access to our network. The Mirage
solution allows us to accommodate each endpoint on the campus network
while still protecting our infrastructure from zero-day threats and
policy violations.”
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 CFCC join our growing list of education
customers using full-cycle NAC protection,” said Trent
Fitz, vice president of marketing for Mirage Networks. “The dynamic
networks of educational institutions prove to be a fit for the Mirage
solution, and we will continue our focus on solving the difficult
challenges faced by campus IT administrators.”
Mirage solutions are made available through Authorized ChannelFirst
Partners and can also be delivered as a managed service.
