Mirage 802.1X is Central to Network Security Strategy
AUSTIN, Texas--(Business Wire)--
Mirage Networks, developer of patented, full-cycle Network Access
Control (NAC) technology, today announced that the City of Overland
Park has chosen Mirage's NAC solution to fully protect the city's
critical network infrastructure. The network provides real time
communication services for the fire department, police department and
other emergency services. Already a Mirage customer for behavioral
policy enforcement, the City of Overland Park has expanded the
solution to leverage 802.1X for endpoint authentication.

   Mirage's NAC solution enables maximum network performance by
controlling network access, isolating non-compliant and threatening
endpoints, and providing self-remediation capabilities. Mirage's
network-based solution is the easiest NAC solution to deploy, as it
requires no agent software, deploys virtually inline, and works in any
network environment.

   "We're not providing nice-to-have network security," said Trent
Fitz, vice president of marketing for Mirage Networks. "Mirage's NAC
solution is helping customers protect the productivity of mission
critical networks and the City of Overland Park is leveraging NAC
innovations to stay ahead of today's network threats and keep the
city's emergency services running without interruption. We're
extremely pleased to expand our relationship with them."

   Mirage solutions are made available through Authorized
ChannelFirst Partners and can also be delivered as a managed service.
