SAN FRANCISCO -- OPSWAT, Inc., the leading provider of endpoint security
integration technologies, today announced that that it has signed an OEM agreement with Avenda Systems, a provider of policy management systems. Avenda Systems will integrate OPSWAT’s OESIS Framework into their recently announced eTIPS 2.0 policy management platform to strengthen its monitoring and evaluation capabilities, creating a comprehensive and highly-effective identity and policy management system.
The strategic relationship between the two companies combines Avenda Systems’ high-performance trust and identity policy system, eTIPS, with OPSWAT’s OESIS technology to effectively protect networks against unauthorized access. By leveraging the OPSWAT technology, Avenda Systems is able to
extend the authentication, authorization and access control capabilities of its eTIPS platform by allowing customers to easily define policies in order to effectively monitor devices attempting to access the network. These policies can then be enforced to deny or limit access to those systems lacking the proper security applications or configurations.
“Leveraging OPSWAT’s OESIS technology has enabled broad coverage in assessing endpoint health and configuration with the Avenda Universal System Health Agent on both Windows and Linux platforms,” said Michael Fine, chief technology officer at Avenda Systems. “We are especially excited to integrate the OPSWAT technology into our next version of eTIPS Policy Management System. This will enable the
power built into eTIPS to base policies on the most up to date threat information while eliminating the operational overhead of managing that information.”
“We are pleased to have Avenda engineers utilize the OESIS framework to power the monitoring and managing capabilities of network endpoints,” said Benny Czarny, president and CEO of OPSWAT, Inc. “This technology allows Avenda’s customers to capitalize on the benefits of the proven, industry-wide integration standard that OESIS delivers.”
