« Back to Releases

Austin, TX – March 19, 2008 – Mirage Networks, developer of full-cycle Network Access Control (NAC) solutions, today announced that Silverstein Properties, lessee and developer of New York City’s World Trade Center (WTC), has selected Mirage Networks’ NAC solution for its office headquarters, located at 7 World Trade Center. The 7 World Trade Center is the first building to be built, opened and leased at the site since September 11, 2001, and is one of five towers planned for the WTC site.

“Mirage Networks offers the most effective NAC solution for organizations securing unmanaged endpoints,” said Sylvain Ardiet, partner and director of commercial markets for Exenet, Mirage Networks’ partner in the region. “Mirage’s full-cycle NAC capabilities assure network uptime and availability regardless of the type of devices connecting to the protected network.”

Mirage safeguards networks from threats by providing full-cycle Network Access Control. Its technology effectively enables maximum network performance by controlling network access, monitoring network behavior, isolating non-compliant endpoints, and providing self-remediation capabilities. Mirage’s network-based solution requires no agent software, deploys “virtually inline,” and works in any environment.

“Silverstein Properties’ selection of the Mirage NAC solution is an extremely strong vote of confidence,” said Greg Stock, president and CEO for Mirage Networks. “Silverstein is leading the way in revitalizing Lower Manhattan after the tragic events of 9/11. Mirage Networks is deeply honored and proud to be a part of this mission.”
