Avenda Systems Launches NAP Agent for Linux and Universal System Health Agent
By Avenda (News - Alert) Systems, a provider of policy management systems, has introduced two software releases that will enhance the adoption of Microsoft Network Access Protection (NAP).
The Avenda NAP Agent for Linux extends NAP to network endpoints running the Linux operating system. Network Access Protection (NAP) technology from Microsoft (News - Alert) Corp. is a comprehensive infrastructure that helps system administrators monitor and control end-point access to enterprise networks.
In addition, Avenda Systems has introduced its Universal System Health Agent (U-SHA). The Avenda U-SHA adds system health checking along with the Anti-Virus/Anti-Spyware/Anti-Phishing and Firewall
products in use today. The Avenda U-SHA can also check specified registry key settings and versions of the most used browsers on the market today.
"We are pleased to be able to offer additional value to customers who have made the commitment to Microsoft NAP,” said Krishna Prabhakar, CEO of Avenda Systems. “We are confident that our U-SHA and NAP Agent for Linux are two parts of a larger solution that customers are seeking to make their end points more secure as NAP continues to be accepted."
Network Access Protection is a policy enforcement technology built into the Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 operating systems that allows customers to better protect network assets from unhealthy computers by enforcing compliance with network health policies. Microsoft Network Access Protection technology is publicly available with versions of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
"Microsoft is pleased to be working with Avenda Systems to expand the offerings for customers of Windows Server 2008," said Ward Ralston, Group Technical Product Manager for Windows Server Marketing at Microsoft Corp. "Our industry partners play an essential role in ensuring that our customers have the best technology foundation available, and the Universal System Health Agent helps deliver valuable new functionality to our joint customers."
