Endforce updates its enterprise security software to v2

San Francisco, Feb. 28, 2005 -- (MobileVillage) -- Endforce recently debuted version 2.0 of its enterprise security software for devices accessing corporate information on both wired and wireless networks.

Version 2.0 features Context Aware Authorization (Context) technology. Context technology, which the Endforce says combines flexible assessment and reporting tools with enforcement capabilities. Context technology allows authorization of user access to corporate resources within the context of their organizational role, network access method, PC status and known responses to security vulnerabilities.

Using new Agent and DHCP quarantine capabilities, Endforce Enterprise v2.0 enables organizations to enforce security policies on both managed endpoints, such as those used by LAN-based or mobile workers, and unmanaged endpoints used by contractors, tele-workers and others. Rogue machines are automatically quarantined without the need for network re- engineering. Version 2 also adds the ability to schedule policy compliance checks to be conducted prior to network access and at customer-selectable intervals after authentication.

The Context Aware Authorization technology determines device status through contextual analysis of the status of installed security applications, O/S, Service Pack, QFEs, and related applications, and customized assessments, says Endforce. Responses to security vulnerabilities, including O/S patches and security application updates, are assessed for availability, relevance and status, and are automatically "packaged" for enterprise use in authorization policies.
