Université Saint-Esprit of Kaslik Chooses Trustwave NAC to Protect Its Network and Endpoints
| Source: Trustwave
CHICAGO, IL and MOUNT LEBANON, LEBANON--(Marketwire - September 28, 2009) - Université
Saint-Esprit of Kaslik (USEK), a leading university in information
technology, recently selected Trustwave's Network Access Control solution
to protect its network from worms and viruses, as well as, control access
to network endpoints within its campus IT environment. Trustwave is the
leading provider of on-demand data security and payment card industry
compliance management solutions to businesses and organizations throughout
the world.
Network Access Control (NAC) technology helps prevent unknown or
unauthorized devices from entering a network, which is one of the leading
causes of the introduction of viruses and other malware onto corporate
networks. Trustwave's solution enables access control to a network through
the use of pre-admission policies, as well as post-admission controls which
govern the access that users and devices are permitted on a network once
access is granted.
Trustwave NAC helps detect and isolate unauthorized devices and policy
violations, including zero-day attacks, without disrupting other segments
of the network. With Trustwave's NAC technology, USEK administrators have
full visibility into every device connected to the wired and wireless
networks. Deploying NAC to protect the school's network from worms, viruses
and infections, USEK can execute the appropriate network use policies to
deny access to endpoints that shouldn't be connecting to the school's
private network.
"At USEK, we only look for world class research, innovation and learning
initiatives," says Ziad Eid, IT Director at USEK. "Triple C, Trustwave's
partner for the Middle East and a leading IT systems integrator in Lebanon,
demonstrated that Trustwave NAC requires no agent software and runs
independent from the network infrastructure, which was the main reason for
choosing their solution."
"USEK clearly understands the inherent security issues with users
connecting directly to the network," says Robert J. McCullen, chairman and
CEO of Trustwave. "Our NAC solution will help ensure only those with
appropriate privileges access the USEK network while detecting and
isolating any rogue devices that try and circumvent network policies to
obtain unauthorized access to critical data."
