ForeScout Technologies, Inc., a provider of CounterACT policy creation and enforcement platforms for network insight, access control and compliance, today announced the availability of its CounterACT™ Wireless integration kit. The kit consists of a software plug-in for control of wireless network controllers and access points and helps to ensure Wi-Fi clients connecting to the network are monitored, are in compliance with security policies, up-to-date with necessary patches, and free of malware.
Suited for networks with mobile clients such as guest/contractor and employee laptops , the kit has a Compatible Partner interoperability rating from Aruba Networks, Inc.. Testing was conducted under the auspices of Aruba’s Technology Alliance Program. Launched in mid-2007, the interoperability testing program helps to enhance the out-of-box deployment experience of integrators and end users.
The CounterACT wireless integration kit is available through local ForeScout representatives and supports the entire family of Aruba Multi-Service Mobility Controllers. The kit enables IT managers to capture a wide range of Wi-Fi client connectivity information, including Host IP and MAC addresses, wireless network SSIDs, wireless access names and locations, and client authentication methods.
