Vernier Extends VOIP Phone use

Vernier Networks has announced the addition of the EdgeWall Rx network access management appliance to its EdgeWall product family. EdgeWall Rx extends network access management to remote users, significantly reducing the risk of security threats and intrusions from external devices and limiting access to sensitive assets. The company also strengthened network security technology throughout the entire EdgeWall line by adding support for VoIP phones and bolstering existing support for laptops, desktops and servers by adding clientless policy compliance scans for both managed and unmanaged devices

",Based on feedback from hundreds of our customers and our significant technology lead, Vernier has been able to take network access management a step further than the competition,", said Simon Khalaf, president and CEO of Vernier Networks. ",Our innovative approach and strong market lead enable our customers to stop internal security threats and intrusions within the fabric of the network.",

Supporting IPSec VPNs and SSL VPNs, EdgeWall Rx resides between the VPN concentrator and the network, scanning all devices connecting to the network for worms, viruses and non-compliant software before applying granular access control and enforcing corporate policies.
