Juniper Networks Inc. has announced that its Unified Access Control (UAC) solution will support the Trusted Network Connect (TNC) open standards, a set of non-proprietary specifications that enables the application and enforcement of security requirements for endpoints connecting to a network.

Juniper Unified Access Control solution, which included the Infranet Controller appliances and is based on the Enterprise Infranet framework, uses a combination of identity-based policy and endpoint intelligence to give enterprises real-time visibility and policy control throughout the network.

TNC is a subgroup of the Trusted Computing Group (TCG), an industry standards body formed to develop, define, and promote open standards for trusted computing and security technologies.

"The support of Juniper Networks and its contributions have been critical in developing the TNC specifications, enabling access control interoperability with robust visibility, policy control and security across the network," said Paul Sangster, co-chair of the Trusted Network Connect subgroup said.

Simon Newstead, Asia Pacific regional director for emerging technologies, Juniper Networks said, "Right now, many corporations in Asia Pacific are evaluating approaches to provide network access control and endpoint remediation. The standards-based approach we’ve taken with our Unified Access Control solution lowers deployment risk while also providing a flexible solution that leverages existing infrastructure, without requiring entire network overhauls.
