CAMBRIDGE, MA — (Marketwired) — 09/23/13 — , the best choice to enable secure network access for corporate issued and personal mobile devices, and , the leader in security and management for mobile apps, content, and devices, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver a fully integrated network access control (NAC) and mobile device management (MDM) solution. The integrated solution combines device-level security with network access security to provide organizations with a foundation for a secure, comprehensive bring-your-own-device (BYOD) strategy.
Bradford Networks- Network Access Control (NAC) solution provisions safe, role-based network access, based on user, device, location and time of day. MobileIron-s Advanced Mobile Management solution creates a virtual perimeter to secure mobile delivery of business data and applications, while preserving an excellent user experience, even on employee-owned smartphones and tablets. The Bradford Networks/MobileIron integration enables customers to ensure that devices and users have appropriate network access and that each device is compliant based on pre-defined policies, configurations are up to date, and no unauthorized applications are installed.
The integrated solution utilizes Bradford Networks- , an open Application Programmer Interface (API) that enables industry-leading security, mobility management, and wired/wireless vendors to easily integrate with Network Sentry and create holistic solutions for secure BYOD.
“The influx of personal devices on corporate networks can create security risks and management headaches,” said Ojas Rege, VP Strategy, MobileIron. “The integration of our MobileIron platform with Bradford Networks- NAC solution gives organizations the critical security they need at both the device and network access levels. The result is a stronger, more secure BYOD environment.”
With the integrated Bradford Networks and MobileIron solution, customers can:
Identify corporate and personal devices based on MobileIron-s classification information and then provision appropriate network access based on pre-defined policies for each user and device;
Automatically provision full network access to corporate devices that have the MobileIron agent installed and are compliant;
Isolate non-compliant devices (such as jailbroken devices) and provide self-remediation through a web portal;
Dynamically adjust a device-s access rights based on status inputs from MobileIron (e.g. if the MobileIron agent is uninstalled or the device is non-compliant).
“To ensure the security and integrity of devices — both corporate and employee-owned — as well as protect access to corporate resources and assets, companies must deploy a comprehensive security strategy — a BYOD Blueprint — that encompasses network access control and mobile device management,” said Tom Murphy, CMO of Bradford Networks. “MobileIron-s deep expertise and experience with enterprise mobility management make them an integral component to a successful BYOD program. We-re excited to expand our roster of leading BYOD ecosystem technology partners with the addition of MobileIron, and to deliver comprehensive security solutions for BYOD.”
