Perfigo converts that assumption of safety to a guarantee of safety by placing the logic of compliance on the network, not on the client. This strategy employes three critical components: Recognize who is accessing the network and what they're allowed to access; Evaluate whether machines are compliant with security policies; Enforce security policies by blocking, isolating, and repairing non-compliant machines. Endpoint security products have emerged to address the human error factor in network security. They assert that safe machines--those with the most updated anti-virus software, the latest OS patches, etc.--automatically confer safe networks.

Perfigo was acquired by Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) in October 2004.«Less
