Product Test and Buyer's GuideProduct Test and Buyer's Guide, 09/27/07By Christine BurnsAs a means of getting its network access control product into the hands of more potential paying IT customers, StillSecure is giving its product away. Or at least a limited edition of it, anyway. In an announcement on the topic earlier this week, the company describes StillSecure Safe Access Lite as “a free version of the industry's No. 1 award-winning NAC solution” (Editor’s note: Safe Access fell more into the middle of the pack in our NAC test) that is geared toward providing “network and security administrators with the immediate benefits from NAC without the complications associated with a wide scale implementation.” "The industry has been crying out for something to ease the pain of NAC implementations," said Alan Shimel, Chief Strategy Officer at StillSecure. "Safe Access Lite installs seamlessly without disruption to your network. It makes it easy to understand how NAC affects your business by finding out how compliant your computers are, checking for the health of your devices, and helping to plan for a successful NAC implementation."
Safe Access Lite - which supports up to 250 endpoints - offers fast endpoint status checking using any or all of StillSecure's three end point security options - agent-based, Web-based using a nonpersistent agent, and agentless. Hundreds of health checks are available to assess an endpoint's security posture, including tests for operating system patches and hotfixes; security and browser settings; personal firewall; antivirus/antispyware; software required and software prohibited (such as P2P and instant messaging); as well tests for the latest worms; Trojans; and viruses. Tap into the Network World NAC Buyer’s Guide to see how Safe Access – both Lite and the full-blown version – compare with other products on the market. |
