Abstract

Mirage networks, Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to validate the chief capabilities of the company’s Endpoint Control network access control (NAC) solution.

Tolly Group engineers examined the Mirage Endpoint Control NAC solution (consisting of the Endpoint Control 145 Advanced Compliance Server, the Endpoint Control 245 sensor appliance and the Mirage Operations Console (MOC) management applications) for its ability to detect and restrict network access of both managed and rogue devices and applications that fail to comply with IT security and behavioral policies.

Engineers tested high-risk applications like Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file-sharing services, Instant Messaging (IM) services, unknown or rogue devices like mobile communication devices, game consoles, personal routers and servers, that have the potential to introduce risk inside an organization’s trusted network. Tests were conducted in September 2007.
