Beryl Selects ConSentry Intelligent Switches to Achieve ISO Certification

ConSentry's Next-Generation Switching Architecture Enables
Role-Based User and Application Control and Activity Tracking
MILPITAS, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
ConSentry Networks announced today that Beryl, a leading provider
of outsourced telephone and web-based call center services for
healthcare organizations, is deploying the ConSentry LANShield(TM)
Switch platform to complete International Organization of
Standardization (ISO) 17799 certification. ConSentry's intelligent
switching solution provides automatic role and device discovery plus
complete LAN visibility by user, role, server, and file to ensure
airtight security and simplify audit processes.

According to John Demcher, network data and security manager at
Beryl, the company was in the pre-audit phase of ISO certification
when it decided to explore intelligent switch capabilities. This
functionality increases security for the activities of several
different user groups, all with different access and application
needs. The ConSentry LANShield Switch integrates with Beryl's existing
Active Directory and Avaya identity stores to automatically learn
users' roles and devices, enabling Demcher to implement
application-based quality of service and fine-grained control of
different groups.

"The best way to control users and applications is directly
through the infrastructure," said Demcher. "ConSentry addresses the
challenges of managing today's collaborative environments by ensuring
only certain users can reach the applications and servers. ConSentry
was quick to provide product evaluation and technical support for our
environment. Once we evaluated the LANShield Switch platform, it was
an easy purchase decision."

ConSentry's intelligent switching solution delivers complete
visibility into users, the applications they access, and their file
and Internet activity. This integrated knowledge, combined with the
LANShield's transparent role-based access-control capability, means
that Beryl can take complete control of its LAN.

"The deployment of intelligent switching will provide new
functionality, visibility, and control that will undoubtedly enhance
Beryl's competitive advantage," noted Dean Hickman-Smith, vice
president of sales at ConSentry. "In addition, Beryl will benefit from
the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of our combination of
intelligent switching innovation; a powerful, all-in-one platform; and
stellar support team."
