HP Intelligent Management Center (IMC) is a modular, comprehensive resource management platform. With its extensive device support, IMC provides true end-to-end management for the entire network, and entire operation cycle. The IMC module Endpoint Admission Defense (EAD) Software reduces network exposure by integrating security policy management and endpoint posture assessment to identify and isolate risks at the network edge. The security policy component allows administrators to control endpoint admission based on an endpoint's identity and posture. If an endpoint is not compliant with software, network assets can be protected by blocking or isolating an endpoint's access. EAD reduces the risk of malicious code infections or other security breaches by detecting endpoint patches, viruses, Address Resolution Protocol attacks, abnormal traffic, the installation and running of sensitive software, as well as the status of system services. EAD provides continual monitoring of endpoints.
