WLANs
CounterACT Plug-in Certified Interoperable With Meru Networks
Wireless LAN Controllers
CUPERTINO, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) December 17, 2008 --
ForeScout Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of CounterACT policy
creation and enforcement platforms for network insight, access control
and compliance, today announced that its CounterACT™ Wireless
Integration kit has been tested and proven interoperable with Meru
Networks. Meru's Wireless Interoperability & Network Solutions (WINS™)
lab verified the interoperability of the ForeScout
CounterACT NAC platform with Meru's virtual cell wireless
infrastructure. Verification ensures that customers can deploy ForeScout
solutions on Meru's WLAN infrastructure without having to do their own
extensive testing.
Ideally suited for networks with mobile clients such as guest/contractor
and employee laptops, the kit consists of a software plug-in for control
of wireless network controllers and access points and helps to ensure
Wi-Fi clients connecting to the network are monitored, are in compliance
with security policies, up-to-date with necessary patches, and free of
malware.
“We are delighted that ForeScout’s CounterACT integration solutions are
now certified interoperable with a wireless vendor like Meru, who is
recognized for its visionary wireless architecture,” said Ayelet
Steinitz, vice president of business development, ForeScout
Technologies. “Using CounterACT, IT managers have immediate reach into
our product's rich network insight and access control capabilities
without modifying their infrastructure or significantly impacting their
end users. The CounterACT wireless integration kit offers a highly
effective solution for wireless network access control. It provides
information about connecting devices through the wireless access points
or wireless controllers. It detects and instantly blocks critical
threats from gaining entrance through any wireless access point, and
displays comprehensive information about the wireless access point on
the host console.”
“Meru is committed to providing its customers with access to WINS™
certified best-of-breed technologies from security partners such as
ForeScout, thus simplifying and speeding the deployment of secure WLAN
infrastructure,” said Sarosh Vesuna, vice president of business
development at Meru. “Customers will immediately benefit from
ForeScout’s access control, regulatory compliance, vulnerability
assessment and remediation solutions.”
The CounterACT wireless integration kit is available through local
ForeScout representatives and supports the entire family of Meru
wireless network controllers. The kit enables IT managers to capture a
wide range of Wi-Fi client connectivity information, including Host IP
and MAC addresses, wireless network SSIDs, wireless access names and
locations, and client authentication methods.
