Black Box to Demonstrate Award-Winning Security Solutions at RSA 2011
Black Box Corporation announced today that it is debuting its new network optimization solution, as well as an enhanced feature set added to its award-winning network access control (NAC) appliance, at the RSA Conference held in the Moscone Center in San Francisco on February 14-18, 2011.
Pittsburgh, PA, February 17, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Black Box Corporation (NASDAQ:BBOX), an industry-leading provider of voice communications, data infrastructure, and network solutions, announced today that it is debuting its new network optimization solution, as well as an enhanced feature set added to its award-winning network access control (NAC) appliance, at the RSA Conference held in the Moscone Center in San Francisco on February 14-18, 2011.
Veri-NAC™, declared by SC Magazine to be one of the 20 most influential security products of the last two decades, is a family of network access control (NAC) appliances from Black Box that ensures that only authorized devices gain access to your network. The system continuously scans your network, looking for unauthorized attempts to obtain an IP address, ensuring simple and effective around-the-clock protection. It also specializes in detecting vulnerabilities in your LAN endpoints by regularly cross-referencing the US Homeland Security’s database of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs).
New among its features, Veri-NAC will be deploying malware detection that will identify present malware running on your LAN endpoints. Veri-NAC will keep watch for outgoing network traffic going to known malware repositories and feature daily vulnerability and malware updates. Veri-NAC can also be configured to alert administrators of block-infected endpoints.
For more information on the Veri-NAC product line, including an on-demand webinar and video software demonstrations, visit http://www.blackbox.com/go/Veri-NAC.
Also debuting at the conference is Black Box’s new network optimization solution, Opti-WAN™. This system accelerates downloads by improving the performance of TCP-based traffic on the Internet. Instead of throwing more bandwidth at Internet slowdowns, which often does not work since the realized throughput of a pipeline is often just a fraction of its rated capacity, Opti-WAN uses three different methods that work together to increase the efficiency of TCP. The system compensates for delay-jitter, dynamically adjusts receiver windows, and adjusts transfer rates to match congestion levels, which speeds up recovery from packet loss. Opti-WAN does not require anything of the end user, operating completely transparent to receiving computers, and does not rely on caching or compression to achieve its performance gains.
