A leading provider of high assurance security solutions to business and government, Blue Ridge Networks, announced today that it will release an endpoint security solution that works with Windows Server 2008 to provide customers increased control of fixed, remote and mobile endpoints.

    The Blue Ridge/Secure EdgeGuard technology prevents end-users from making system changes that can expose the organization to malware attacks or worse. The solution ensures that client security software is continuously running, identifies pirated software, enforces endpoint settings that prevents users from altering system configurations, contains at-risk applications that could potentially be exploited, automatically and remotely corrects vulnerabilities, quarantines at-risk endpoints and enforces location-specific policies.

"With the Blue Ridge Networks endpoint security solution built on Windows Server 2008, customers can achieve a highly reliable infrastructure for their business-critical applications."

    "We are pleased to be offering an endpoint security solution for Windows Server 2008 and the Network Access Protection platform. Our rapidly-deployable solution locks down endpoints to reduce risks of attack, lower operational costs and free end-users from security management tasks", says Mike Fumai, CEO of Blue Ridge Networks.
