[monsitj]

Avenda's USHA for Windows enhances NAP end point health inspection in Windows Vista and XP Service Pack 3. The USHA provides for extensive, supplemental system health checking in conjunction with the most popular anti-virus, anti-spyware and personal firewall products in use today. In addition, the Avenda USHA can check the status of system services and for the existence of specified registry keys. And, it can also be configured to auto-remediate a quarantined endpoint.

Avenda has released a number of new customer driven ease-of-use features to its leading eTIPS management interface that address shortcomings with competitive products. eTIPS is the only policy platform that includes built-in AAA, network access control policy reporting components, and intuitive interface that reduces complexity associated with competitive multi-platform solutions. New features include pre-populated policy templates, a policy creation wizard, 3-Click Help-desk navigation, and customizable real-time reporting and analytics views.

Four new add-on components further optimize efficiency for customers by providing an extensive set of features that deliver broader endpoint health coverage, auto-configuration of .1X, expanded reporting and archiving, and granular sponsor-based guest access. With new support for MAC OS X, Avenda now supports the broadest set of platforms, ensuring all endpoints meet with enterprise compliance before connecting to the network. Customers opting for 802.1X security can rely on Avenda's new capability delivering auto-configuration of endpoints. These new components provide unsurpassed visibility, free users and IT administrators from the complexities of 802.1X, and enable comprehensive control of guest network access.

The new Avenda components announced include:

MacHealth – A unique NAP based agent allows organizations to transparently check the health of MAC OS X based devices prior to allowing them onto the network.

Quick1X – A new centrally managed endpoint configuration wizard, which minimizes user and IT helpdesk troubleshooting when rolling out 802.1X or Microsoft NAP security enhancements.
