CONCORD, New Hampshire, December 11 /PRNewswire/ --

- NAC Director Honored for Out-of-Band Architecture That Leverages
Existing Networks

Bradford Networks, a leading provider of comprehensive network access
control (NAC) solutions, was named an SC Magazine Innovator of the Year for
its NAC Director solution -- an out-of-band, agent-based access control
policy management engine that leverages existing network assets.

In the December 2007 issue of the magazine, SC Magazine Technology Editor
Peter Stephenson wrote, "Tactically NAC Director pushes access control policy
enforcement to the edge of the enterprise where it belongs. Strategically,
NAC Director leverages the assets on the network to keep pace with the unique
security architecture of each individual enterprise."

SC Magazine also applauded NAC Director's ease of use and vision to
provide the highly scalable architecture necessary to support the exploding
number of wireless devices and networks.

From all the products it evaluated during 2007, the magazine selected
just 18 SC Magazine Innovators based on importance in the security landscape,
comprehensiveness, ongoing product value, and innovation. The first of SC
Magazine's yearly Look Ahead sections honors SC Magazine Innovators and
covers access control, analysis and testing, perimeter defense, data
protection, and security infrastructure tools. The publication looked to help
readers answer the question, "If we are going to buy security tools in the
next 12 to 18 months, what should we be looking at?"

"As an SC Magazine Innovator of the Year, Bradford is honored to be
recognized as one of the IT security pioneers working to more holistically
safeguard company networks," said Mike Gadoury, Bradford Networks founder and
CEO. "We're proud that SC Magazine recognizes the value our automated
identity management, end point compliance, and usage policy enforcement
capabilities bring to addressing current and future access security
challenges."

Bradford Networks has pioneered advanced NAC solutions since 2002 and
expanded its product line with the release of NAC Director in 2007.
Bradford's NAC technology helps solve network access control challenges
facing education, healthcare, financial services, government and other
organizations by securing wired, wireless, and VPN networks.
