Proven products, large established customer base, open standards are just some of the reasons Funk Software is really a hot company. Funk Software develops products and technologies that protect the integrity of
the network by ensuring both the user and the device meet an organization's
security policies before they are granted access. These solutions include market
leading products such as its Steel-Belted Radius, a RADIUS/AAA server, Odyssey
Client, an 802.1X client for wireless and wired networks and its recently
introduced Endpoint Assurance Product suite for network-based enforcement of
endpoint integrity.
