Policy-based networking vendor AEP Networks has signed up to Microsoft’s Network Access Protection (NAP) programme to springboard its new range of security products into the market.
The two vendors will work together to develop and deliver solutions that protect corporate assets, control the spread of viruses and assure policy compliance.
Mike Shutz, group product manager, security and access at Microsoft, said: “AEP Network’s participation will allow customers to defend against more types of attacks that threaten today’s IT operations.”
Reginald Best, executive vice president of AEP Networks’ application security business, said: “The ability to determine the health status of a client and to restrict resource access based on identity-driven policies established by IT is now expanding beyond the ‘edge’ domain of single socket layer VPN remote access to the ‘core’.”
