CounterACT combines clientless network access control (NAC) and signatureless intrusion prevention to ensure all connected and connecting devices are in compliance with network security policies and are free of self-propagating threats.

CounterACT seamlessly integrates into any network environment without requiring costly upgrades or infrastructure changes, and enables enterprises to tailor enforcement actions to match the level of policy violations, ensuring user disruption only occurs when warranted by your IT security team. In addition to traditional security issues, today’s enterprises are dealing with the influx of vulnerabilities introduced by contractors, guests and mobile/home employees who are able to bypass physical security and gain network connection inside the perimeter defenses.

CounterACT solves this problem by enforcing network security policies across all network devices, both managed and unmanaged, including desktops and laptops as well as non-OS devices such as VoIP phones, handhelds, network printers and other equipment, without the need for a software agent of any kind.
