Extreme Networks Inc. and
StillSecure have combined technologies in Extreme's new
Sentriant Access Guard network access control device. Working in conjunction with the 802.1x standards built into Extreme's Ethernet switches and ExtremeXOS operating system, the Sentriant AG protects a network by scanning end-point devices to ensure they're free from threats and are in compliance with security policies. The solution employs StillSecure's agentless Safe Access technology.
