TNT Gives Everything an Identity
www.trustednetworktech.com, 678-397-0500, 877-222-8736

"Everything has an identity," says Rob Ciampa, vice president of marketing at Trusted Network Technologies (TNT). That's the concept behind TNT's Identity appliance and software solution, which uniquely identifies both users and endpoints while dynamically and transparently adding identity credentials to network packets after authentication. Identity's approach allows for identity-based access-control and audit capabilities across the entire IT environment. The process establishes pervasive identity for every user, workstation, and server in the enterprise.

The Identity solution consists of three components: I-Gateway, the appliance that sits between users and critical assets, enforcing policies at wire speed according to the unique user identities in network packets; Identity Driver, which embeds the authenticated user ID and a system ID into the initiating packet and establishes machine identity transparently; and IManager, which provides centralized system management and clear, customizable reports. Identity offers an innovative way to see, control, and prove who's doing what with any server or application, at any time.
