SkyRecon Supports Windows Server 2008 and Microsoft Network Access Protection (NAP) Agents

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - April 9, 2008) - (RSA Conference #951) - A contributing member of Microsoft's SecureIT Alliance, SkyRecon Systems (www.skyrecon.com), a provider of endpoint security solutions, today announced support for Windows Server 2008 and the native NAP platform that is built into Microsoft's new operating system Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista™, and Windows® XP Service Pack 3.

"Network Access Protection is one of the most desired and highly anticipated features of Windows Server 2008," said Ravy Truchot, SkyRecon Systems CEO. "If a client attempts to log onto the network without following policy, NAP will automatically bring the client back into compliance and then dynamically increase its level of network access. Our customers will be thrilled with this new development as it brings peace of mind to their security concerns."

Founded in Paris five years ago with U.S. headquarters in San Jose, CA, SkyRecon will be showing Version 5.1 of its multi-layered system and data protection solution, StormShield, in Booth #951 in the Microsoft Partner Pavilion at RSA, San Francisco.

SkyRecon's StormShield solution protects businesses from the real threats of data leakage, data theft, system misuse, unauthorized access, and zero-day attacks.

SkyRecon's flagship product StormShield offers integrated system and data protection layers in a single lightweight agent and single management console. Using only a few megabytes of memory footprint, StormShield's behavioral-based endpoint protection solution features integrated device control, data encryption, application control, host-based intrusion prevention (HIPS), system firewall, wireless security, and Network Access Control (NAC) -- a fraction of the size compared to other similar products in the market. Its agent provides zero-day protection without the need for signature or rule updates.

Network Access Protection (NAP) is Microsoft's new network access control platform and solution that controls access to network resources based on a client computer's identity and state of compliance within corporate policy. NAP allows network administrators to define granular levels of network access based on who is attempting to log in, including checks against the groups to which the client belongs, and the degree to which that client is compliant.

The integration between StormShield and NAP provides IT infrastructure protection by preventing network access to unsecured endpoints by enforcing network security policy, by blocking unauthorized user operations and malicious application execution at the endpoint, and by enforcing endpoint policy even when the client is not connected. NAP and StormShield work hand-in-hand to remediate the client policy exceptions to bring it back into a compliant state before granting secure network access.
