Extreme Networks Data Sheet

Flexible Enforcement Options

Sentriant AG supports IEEE 802.1x,

DHCP, inline and other enforcement

schemes for maximum deployment

options and easy integration with existing

security systems. These industry-wide

initiatives enable the network infrastruc

ture to enforce security policy compli

ance on all devices seeking to access

network computing resources.

Sentriant AG also adds extensive policy

compliance and enforcement features in

order to verify that the applications and

services running on endpoint devices

comply with security and access policies.

Figure 3 highlights the key features and

beneﬁts of the Sentriant AG.

Deep Endpoint Testing

Access policies consist of one or more

tests to assess operating system

integrity, verify that key hotﬁxes and

patches have been installed, verify that

anti-virus and other security applications

are present and up-to-date and detect

the presence of other malware. Any

incidence of potentially dangerous

applications such as ﬁle sharing, Peer-to-

Peer (P2P), or spyware is also checked.

Administrators can also create custom

tests through Sentriant AG’s Application

Programming Interface (API). Sentriant

AG ships with dozens of out-of-the box

tests in the following categories:

Operating systems—Tests for

services packs and hotﬁxes

Browser security policy—Veriﬁes

browser security settings match the

organization’s policy

Security settings—Tests for

macros, services, Windows security

policy, and startup registry entries

Software:

Anti-virus—Tests for required

AV software

P2P—Tests for prohibited P2P

software

Personal ﬁrewalls—Tests for

required ﬁrewall

•

–

Software required and software

not allowed—Deﬁned by

administrator

Worms, viruses and Trojans—

Checks for the presence of dozens

of attacks and infections

Simple, Easy Deployment

Sentriant AG installs on a dedicated

server. Installation includes the hardened

–

Linux operating system, so the installation

process is fast, easy and completely self-

contained. Because Sentriant AG requires

no client-side agents, setup, administra

tion and deployment is greatly simpliﬁed.

Sentriant AG easily scales from the

smallest to the largest networks. Most

importantly, the solution is cost-effective.

Comprehensive and Scalable Solution

Sentriant AG is a powerful endpoint security solution that provides deep and comprehensive testing of endpoint devices. At

the same time, it is easily deployed, supports industry standards and scales to meet the needs of the largest organizations.
