Unlike security software installed on the laptop, the Yoggie uses the same approach that is used to protect the corporate network physical separation of the first line of defense. A robust security computer, based OS, Yoggie's solutions physically isolate the laptop from incoming Internet threats. The fact that Yoggie' line instead of the laptop itself means you are protected from both known and unknown attacks.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 21, 2004--
The problem with random drug testing in general is that it assumes that all people involved are guilty of drug abuse until they e proven innocent. This leads to a huge waste of time and resources spent testing people who are obviously not drug users. It also goes against the way that the justice system in America is supposed to work by forcing people to prove their innocence, instead of assuming innocence until somebody is proven to be guilty.

Vernier Networks(R) today announced the industry's first Adaptive Security Platform (ASP) designed to provide enterprises with the most stringent security controls for their network. By treating all devices on the network as though they are "guilty until proven innocent," Vernier's Trusted Network Admission screens all devices for vulnerability and security patches before granting network admission, ensuring that only clean machines get access to the network and all others are disinfected before they are granted access. This helps organizations minimize downtime at a result of worm and virus intrusions and reduce the associated costs.
— Cloudmark, Inc., the authority in messaging security, announced an agreement today with Message Partners, a leading provider of email security software, that enables it to participate in a global agreement with IBM whereby Message Partners' flagship Message Processing Platform (MPP) can be resold as part of an integrated platform solution on IBM System p™ products for small to midsized businesses, along with an option for Cloudmark's Authority™ engine, abuse solution that blocks spam, carrying emails at the gateway.

Vernier's ASP is an integrated security solution that provides five layers of protection from Trusted Network Design, Trusted Network Admission, Trusted Network Defense, Trusted Network Outbreak Management, and Trusted Network Remediation. These layers reduce the possibility of an attack, and if an attack occurs, resolve the attack immediately while adapting policy to prevent future threats to the network. The result is an unprecedented level of network security and an assurance of business continuity.
Almost 10 years later, the trend of abandoning desktop computers in favor of laptops is creating a new era in computing security.

"At St.Vincent's Hospital, we have a legal obligation to ensure that our patients' records are protected from security threats all the time so our security system has to be foolproof," said Eddie Kilgore, information security officer of St. Vincent's Hospital based in Birmingham, Ala. "The ability to ensure that all network users must undergo rigorous qualifications to get on the network and are only permitted when their devices are checked for latest patches or vulnerability levels would be an excellent feature. This would give us additional assurance that our staff and patients are being protected."

In the past, organizations have deployed multiple point-products ranging from firewalls, to vulnerability assessment, to intrusion detection solutions. These solutions have reduced risks but have still left enterprises exposed to attacks due to lack of integration.

The Vernier ASP is built on the principle that an organizations' network security is strengthened by integrating security functions into a single platform, enabling them to share information in real-time. This enables the security manager to raise the security level in the network during a potential threat, and react quickly and in a coordinated manner if an attack occurs, reducing significantly the possibility of an attack, and minimizing downtime during an attack.

"A security platform that allows both real-time traffic analysis and ad-hoc network segmentation is something that no one to date has been able to deliver to the marketplace," said Phebe Waterfield, senior security analyst at Yankee Group. "Vernier's Adaptive Security Platform gives enterprises an unprecedented view and control over network traffic and the ability to address unknown worm and virus threats."

Vernier developed its ASP with five layers of network protection. These include:

used laptops
-- Trusted Network Design: Using Vernier's solutions, organizations can define global dynamic access policies that reduce intrusion risks, allowing users to see only the resources they require on the network, and denying access to all other resources.
cameras
scanners
-- Trusted Network Admission: Using Vernier's solutions, access to the network is only permitted when a user is authenticated and authorized. Their device is checked for vulnerability and software patch levels and its status is deemed acceptable according to dynamically defined corporate policies. If the device is deemed vulnerable, it is quarantined until software patches are applied.

-- Trusted Network Defense: For suspicious traffic coming from a device, Vernier's solutions offer in-line intrusion detection and protection to recognize attack patterns and deny them access to the network.

-- Trusted Network Outbreak Management: Vernier's solutions allow organizations to manage virus and worm outbreaks, completely minimizing downtime and productivity losses. Infected devices are immediately identified, quarantined and redirected to a site to be cleaned. This is achieved automatically with minimal human intervention.

"Organizations have thrown billions of dollars at the security problem over the last five years and yet they are still vulnerable to attacks. It is clear that businesses need to rethink the way they implement security throughout their infrastructures," said Simon Khalaf, president and CEO of Vernier Networks. "With Vernier, enterprises can keep their businesses open, their networks up, while proactively defending against threats."
