New Boundary Technologies

"Policy management can quickly become painful and unmanageable without the right tools. New Boundary Technologies has pioneered the best way to simplify computer security policy management and enforcement. It is now not only possible to automate the whole process but to also monitor and revive devices that have fallen out of compliance."

What makes New Boundary Technologies Info Security Hot Company 2006

Products & Technologies

New Boundary Technologies develops innovative software solutions that automate IT management and security. The company is pioneering a new paradigm for computer security with its Policy Commander solution. This innovative new approach focuses on proactively securing computers – continuously and automatically – by easily assessing and instantly eliminating vulnerabilities in workstations and servers.

New Boundary Technologies began by developing real-time data acquisition applications and early Internet solutions for laboratories, universities, government facilities and private corporations. Today, the company has grown to produce a full line of packaged software applications that serve the needs of small to mid-size businesses and the large enterprise, as well as custom software solutions that fulfill the unique requirements of each customer.

New Boundary Technologies’ products are designed to meet the needs of a wide range of customers, delivering the scalability required for enterprise environments as well as the ease-of-use and affordability valued by small and mid-size organizations. The company’s Policy Commander™ solution features an innovative, intelligent security policy format that dramatically simplifies the process of creating, testing, implementing, monitoring and enforcing compliance with computer security policies.

Policy Commander features an innovative, intelligent security policy format that is unique to New Boundary Technologies. The format defines security policies based on three key attributes: applicability, compliance, and enforcement. Determining which security policies apply to each computer has traditionally been a huge headache for administrators, who were forced to manually define types, roles, OS, installed applications, and other selectable characteristics for every computer within the environment. With applicability built in, administrators can simply roll out security policies and rely on Policy Commander’s automated intelligence to assign them to the correct PCs or servers based on characteristics set by administrators. Once policies are implemented, Policy Commander continually monitors computers to assure compliance with assigned policies. Policy Commander establishes a security configuration baseline by providing a quick and easy snapshot of the security state before and after enforcing each policy. Enforcement rules and logic within each policy enables Policy Commander to intelligently determine what actions to take to automatically bring computers into compliance with their assigned policies.
