"XRoads' goal as the leading UBM technology company is to push the core benefits of its network reliability solutions to the extent that they deliver measurable day-to-day enhancements to its customer's business operations," said Daren French, VP of business development for XRoads. "Within the single EdgeXOS platform we are able to provide network redundancy, monitoring, and traffic shaping, which, in turn, leads to an optimized network that produces increased productivity and assists with increasing long-term profitability and growth for our customers."

Three core components of the EdgeXOS platform:

-- WAN Load Balancing - Improve network performance and reliability through XRoads' proprietary multi-WAN load balancing solution. XRoads' solutions for additional bandwidth and redundancy are second-to-none in terms of cost and time savings -- not to mention peace of mind.

-- QoS & Traffic Shaping -- Report on and then prioritize critical applications through end-to-end QoS with XRoads' application traffic shaping. The feature provides fine-tuned control over end-users, servers, and unwanted network traffic.

-- Access Control -- Take control over the network and prevent network slow downs by identifying end-users and only allowing access to those devices and applications which are authorized to connect to the network.

"XRoads' solution not only does what we want it to do, it does exactly what the XRoads' team promised it would do -- a trait that often escapes the typical technology salesperson," said Danny Stewart with Hines Trucking. "Take your best rating and go above that, its really that good."

XRoads Networks was selected by leading IT trade publication CRN as a 2007 Top Emerging Technology Company.

XRoads Networks will be making an announcement in the coming weeks regarding its new revolutionary service, ZeroOutages, which significantly increases Internet reliability for the SMB market.

The bundled NCP Secure Entry Client provides Hisco a single software solution that integrates data encryption, a dynamic personal firewall, Friendly Net Detection, and one-time password token and certificate support through a public key infrastructure (PKI). The dynamic firewall allows Hisco to set policies for ports, IP addresses and segments, as well as applications. The Friendly Net Detection, created by NCP engineering, forces the network to identify itself to the device, preventing any data packet transfer until a safe network has been detected. Configuration and policy logic are easily set and managed centrally or through the NCP Secure Entry Client itself.

"Hisco's remote inventory staff works at client sites recording products with their handheld scanners, and needs to be able to reorder stock at a moment's notice to keep the supply chain moving and their core business growing," said Simon Ford, international director, NCP engineering. "Corporate policy wouldn't allow connections from outside ISPs to Hisco's network without a secure VPN, limiting the team's effectiveness. They needed a strong client that could be implemented quickly, required very little management and worked with existing infrastructure."

A 30-day trial version of NCP Secure Entry Client offering unrestricted use is available online at: http://www.ncp-e.com/en/downloads/software.html.

"In analyzing the responses, it's clear that controlling network access is one of the highest priorities in all organizations," said Sheila Baker of Opine Consulting. "But deploying the appropriate technology is being hindered to some extent by a lack of focus on policy, and is often being driven by operations or security departments and not by the business units. Despite organizational obstacles, the recognized need is highlighting a gap in most security architectures where network access control solutions could be filling that gap."

A summary of the key findings from the study include:

-- 86 percent of respondents indicated that controlling network access was very important or important compared to other security issues

-- 45 percent of respondents were not confident or only somewhat confident they know of every endpoint that connects to their network

-- 43 percent are either unsure or do not believe their organization focuses their network access policies and controls on the greatest areas of business risks to their organization

-- For those respondents with plans to deploy Microsoft NAP, the most common security solutions to integrate with are NAC (69 percent) followed by intrusion detection/prevention (55 percent)

-- 87 percent of respondents indicated standards are important or very important in deploying a Network Access Control (NAC) solution

-- More than half of respondents (51 percent) are concerned about job loss in the case of a security breach on their network

While Microsoft NAP deployments seem to be slowed by complexity and lack of Microsoft Vista adoption, another key finding of the survey indicates that NAC solutions are recognized by IT professionals as a complementary solution to NAP and may actually increase NAP adoption. Full-cycle NAC solutions offer coverage for non-Windows endpoints and provide ongoing threat detection that supplements Microsoft NAP's pre-admission checks.

"In today's era of mobility, there is simply no clear perimeter to stop the bad guys from coming in," said Trent Fitz, vice-president of marketing for Mirage Networks. "Organizations across all industries are recognizing the greatest threat to the network is the endpoint that connects to the interior. Once inside, endpoints of all types become conduits for web-based threats and other malware to propagate within the network. Customers around the world are deploying Mirage's patented NAC solution to enable their networks to thrive in the midst of these challenges."

Designed specifically to address the challenge of protecting the network interior, 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 requires no agent software, deploys virtually inline, and works in any network environment.

Survey Methodology

An independent database of IT professionals was emailed and invited to participate in an online survey regarding IT security and controlling network access. The survey was conducted using SurveyMonkey and participants were not identified. There were a total of 194 respondents, representing a variety of IT functions and companies that ranged in size from small businesses with less than 100 endpoints to large enterprises with more than 10,000 endpoints. Respondents were not compensated for participating in this survey but were offered a copy of the final report. The survey was sponsored by Mirage Networks.
