Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR), today announced that it is showcasing
integrated enterprise security solutions at this week's RSA Conference, at
its booth #2639. The Company is displaying key enhancements to its
Sentriant(R) line of security products addressing common network threats
and policy enforcement.
The Sentriant AG200 Network Access Control (NAC) product is now offered

NG300 threat detection and mitigation appliance will showcase its recently
announced VoIP security rules, helping protect converged networks from
emerging threats.
Simplified NAC Deployments
Promoting simple and scalable policy-based security for the network
edge, the new Sentriant AG200 NAC appliance upgrades Extreme Networks(R)
existing software-only NAC solution. Now available as a 1RU appliance, the
Sentriant AG200 extends its comprehensive, enterprise-class NAC enforcement
capabilities with this easy to deploy and operate device. The Sentriant
AG200 supports multiple security policies and performs various health
checks of devices to help meet security requirements. It addresses diverse
policies for user communities and locations, while supporting both Windows
PCs and Apple Macs. The Sentriant AG200 appliance is ideal various
organization sizes and can scale effectively with its load balancing
capabilities.
"NAC is a crucial element in the enterprise security posture, and it is
beneficial to have LAN switches and task specific appliances that cooperate
to protect the network," said Suresh Gopalakrishnan, vice president and
general manager for the Emerging Products Group at Extreme Networks. "Our
holistic approach to integrated security, from the edge to the network core
provides a responsive and effective solution to the real-world security
needs of our customers."
Threat Detection for Converged Networks
The Sentriant NG300, which provides enterprise-class threat detection
and mitigation network wide, was recently enhanced with new VoIP security
rules. These rules are designed to protect converged networks against the
leading exploits aimed at attacking and hindering voice performance and
integrity. The Sentriant NG300 is not deployed in line with traffic,
therefore does not pose a threat to network availability, and when used
with Extreme Networks CLEAR-Flow technology available in ExtremeXOS(R)
switches, a single appliance can provide coverage for multi-gigabit
networks.
