"Clean Room", "Scan & Block", "Network Admission Control", "End-point Computer Quarantine"--regardless of the name used in your organization, failure to decontaminate the remote and mobile computers accessing your core network creates a substantial security risk that grows each day.

Fortunately, an effective end-point quarantine system mitigates threats as it brings a number of key benefits to your organization--from the obvious benefit of reduced vulnerability and contamination related to security incidents to the reduction of IT operational costs, improved network availability, and improved business productivity.

An effective quarantine system can automate enforcement of corporate security policies by ensuring that each computer is blocked, scanned, and remediated prior to entry, then continues with four powerful and automatic steps:

• Blocking access to the network
• Assessing the potential threat
• Remediating the potential threat
• Authorizing access to the network

With such a system in place you can expect to reduce administrative costs related to network security management, while at the same time minimize organizational risk.
