Extreme Networks Data Sheet

While efforts to improve network security have

been focused on locking down the network

perimeter and securing critical internal network

assets, the security of endpoint devices, which

make up the majority of devices on the network,

have gone largely untouched.

Security attacks, however, are increasingly

originating from endpoint devices such as LAN

workstations, remote access laptops and home

computers to compromise networks. The reason

is simple: endpoint devices typically bypass

standard perimeter security measures and

connect directly into the network.

Extreme Networks

Sentriant AG200 veriﬁes

that endpoint devices accessing the network,

such as laptops and desktops, are free from

security threats and in compliance with the

organization’s security standards. It systematically

tests endpoint devices for compliance with

organizational security policies, quarantining

non-compliant machines before they can damage

the network.

Sentriant AG200 dramatically reduces the cost

and effort of securing internal network access. It

tests devices used by remote employees and

contractors using VPN or dial-up, devices

connecting to the network directly, and devices

connecting through wireless networks—including

devices your IT group may not own or adequate-

ly control.

Target Applications

Preventing the introduction of malware or •

use of high risk software in the network
