InfoExpress CARE lets organizations deploy Network Access Control at a reduced cost

(29/06/2009)

InfoExpress has announced the availability of the InfoExpress Compliance, Authorization, and Rogue Enforcement (CARE) service, a comprehensive managed service for Network Access Control (NAC) deployment and operation, including host integrity, guest access, and endpoint compliance. InfoExpress CARE lets organizations deploy NAC for their LANs, VPNs and wireless networks at a reduced cost without increasing staff workload.

Tailored to each customer’s needs, InfoExpress CARE provides the flexibility to meet the requirements of a wide variety of organizations. Customers can choose to outsource one or all of the NAC specific services, including installation, policy creation and updates, patch management, on-going operations, and reporting. The customized deployments are delivered quickly and easily by a team of NAC experts.

Current InfoExpress customers using the CARE service have reported significant benefits, including:

“Leveraging the technical team from InfoExpress ensures that our CyberGatekeeper NAC solution is optimized. We now have the peace of mind that comes with having a high level of security for our users.”


“Through the CARE service, NAC has become a critical part of our security policy as we have added the CyberGatekeeper client into our corporate image for staff requiring remote access. “

“The CARE team was able to quickly develop multiple compliance reports that we later integrated into our backend databases to create a security dashboard. In conjunction with CyberGatekeeper’s auditing function we are able to determine the state of endpoint compliance in real-time as well as verify and update endpoints as necessary.”

Despite the need to move forward with their NAC projects, CISOs and IT managers at many organizations are overloaded and are struggling to allocate resources. InfoExpress CARE managed service solves this dilemma by:
* Providing experts to ensure resource-efficient, worry-free NAC delivery.
* Maintaining NAC without increasing internal IT staff.
* Offering a highly customizable solution to complement any company’s budget.

“Even with IT budget and staff limitations, organizations still need to move forward with their NAC initiatives,” said Stacey Lum, CEO of InfoExpress. “With InfoExpress CARE, a custom NAC solution is quickly and easily deployed by our team of experts. This frees our customers to work on their existing operations, with the assurance that their networks are safeguarded by NAC.”

Once NAC has been deployed, unauthorized users are identified and quarantined, policies to update firewall settings are enforced, anti-virus and patch levels are updated, and management receives reports on the status. The result is a working NAC solution that’s installed without downtime or disruption to users.

InfoExpress CARE is available immediately. Pricing can be established on an annual fee or a per-endpoint annual basis based on the scope of work. The full managed service, including installation services, policy maintenance and infrastructure and remediation management, is available for a monthly user fee with no license costs.
