Are you compromising network security due to your need to allow access to a growing number of users and devices?
Are your IT resources diverted from business aims due to constant fire-fighting?
Are you struggling to ensure that all of your devices are up-to-date on patches, firewall, antivirus and antispyware?

PureNAC Network Access
With PureNAC you can easily define network settings for user groups (employees, contractors, guests, students, etc.) and devices (workstations, laptops, servers, printers, phones, etc.) to control what information and applications they can access. Unauthorised users or devices can be isolated or denied access to the network.

PureNAC End-Station Compliance
Use PureNAC to assess a device’s compliance level (virus checks, firewall enablement, unauthorized software, etc.) before granting access to the network. Compliance failures can be fixed by PureNAC automatically to enforce security policies on all network devices.

Business Benefits
PureNAC helps you reduce security threats ensuring all computers have the latest operating system patches installed, the correct firewall settings and up-to-date anti-virus definitions. It allows network administrators to grant different people in the organisation appropriate network access, restricting guest access or defining different settings for contractors and sales representatives. PureNAC rolls out Network Access and Compliance Enforcement in a simple non-intrusive manner with minimal business impact. Use PureNAC to enhance your regulatory compliance and implement effective network policy and save money on the implementation, with no hardware upgrades or expensive configuration tasks required.

Network Administration Benefits
Centrally manage user and device access and compliance levels using Active Directory across your whole network, managing multiple vendor solutions. PureNAC integrates with your existing network infrastructure making the implementation process very simple: minimal configuration, minimal downtime and zero hardware requirements.  

End User Benefits
PureNAC prevent problems caused by disabled or out-of-date software on end-user devices. It ensures up-to-date protection from virus and attacks every time they access the corporate network, and also allows visitors to access the network without any software installation requirements.

Protect networked computers
Get all the benefits of superior hard disk protection, and much more. Eliminate computer damage and downtime, while protecting data and system security throughout your network.

Erase virus damage
Automatically remove viruses and unwanted downloads. Restore computers to a known good state on reboot. Wipe out all changes, or set aside folders where user files are preserved.

Remotely manage computers
Wake up, shut-down or restart computers remotely. Check disk space, view event logs, access the Windows task manager, manage computer services, shared drives and more.

Easy to install and use
The administrative console provides a common interface for hard disk protection, device control and Windows administrative functions that is easy to set up and easy to use.

Restrict device access
Protect sensitive data, ensure system integrity. Grant or deny access to vulnerable system devices like hard disks, DVD/CD and floppy drives, parallel and serial ports, USB and WiFi devices.

Control application and Web use
Set and enforce policies for Internet access by computer, by user or by time period. Deny access to problem Web sites and applications, or limit access to those appropriate for school or business use.

Protect sensitive data
Hide hard disk contents completely from certain users, or limit access to a selected list of folders. Ensure that confidential school or company data is only accessed by authorized users.

Comprehensive and affordable
ProtectOn Pro provides a comprehensive solution for endpoint protection at prices that are at or below what most companies charge for standalone hard disk protection or device control software.

Fast Forward Charter High School in Logan, Utah is just one of the many schools around the world that rely on ProtectOn for affordable hard disk protection that keeps student computers trouble-free.

With an at-risk student population, and more than 80 computers networked across multiple computer labs, technology director Shannon Thurston faced real challenges in keeping his network free of viruses and unwanted downloads, until he installed ProtectOn.

"There's no need to perform daily maintenance on the computers anymore."

Trouble-Free Computer Protection

With ProtectOn installed on computers throughout Fast Forward Charter High School, Thurston can roll back virus damage and unwanted changes that students may have made to classroom computers. With a simple restart, computers are back to normal with no damage, downloads or games. ProtectOn allows him to remotely reboot, change settings or wake the student computers and schedule unprotected time for system changes, such as virus protection updates.

"There’s no need to perform daily maintenance on the computers anymore, really. The kids can’t mess things up – they don’t install things anymore, because they know it’s all wiped out when the computer restarts. The same aspects that help the teachers manage a class help me manage the network."

The software consists of three modules: a server module, one or more administrative console modules, and an unlimited number of agent modules. The Netop ProtectOn Pro server module requires that you have one of several Microsoft SQL Server editions installed, and comes packaged with SQL Server Compact edition. The server and console modules also require Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0, which is commonly available on newer Windows operating systems.
