Tampa, FL – June 15, 2010 – Impulse Point announced today that Info Security Products Guide, the industry’s leading information security research and advisory guide, has named Impulse Point as a winner of the 2010 Best Deployment Scenario Awards in the Security Solution for Education category. This prestigious award recognizes security vendors with advanced, ground-breaking security solutions that are helping set the bar higher for others in all areas of information security. The SafeConnect Network Access Control solution was selected based on real world solution deployments that are making the most positive impact on security in today’s highly sophisticated and blended attacks environment.
The University of Denver was concerned with registering and authenticating the different types of computing devices attempting to access their network as well as ensure that the tenets of academic freedom were protected. The SafeConnect NAC solution provided the flexibility to select the policy modules and associated enforcement options (quarantine, warn, audit) required to satisfy their specific Acceptable Use Policies by campus location or user identity (students, faculty, staff, guests, etc.) in concert with open computing philosophies. SafeConnect ensures that devices connecting to the network comply with stated security policies (i.e., requiring up to date anti-virus protection or OS patches) but does not monitor content or network traffic. Instances of non-compliance at the University have been reduced and users among both student and faculty have become more aware of security best practices.

“The most powerful message security vendors can ever give to prove their capabilities and continued commitment in solving customer’s security needs is through successful deployments,” says Rake Narang, editor-in-chief, Info Security Products Guide. “Impulse Point’s successful deployment at University of Denver is proof positive that SafeConnect can help other institutions solve the same type of user authentication and balancing security in an academic setting.”
“Info Security Products Guide’s recognition of SafeConnect further validates our commitment to our customers that our products and solutions can be successfully deployed,” says Brian Herzig, Vice President of Impulse Point. “Impulse Point’s SafeConnect managed services solution is the industry’s most scalable and least intrusive NAC system to deploy. The vendor-independent solution easily integrates into existing network architecture and can be deployed quickly with minimal technical resources as a turn-key solution in less than an hour.”
