About

Bradford Networks specializes in network access control (NAC) solutions through its flagship Network Sentry platform. The company focuses on securing enterprise networks by controlling device access and enforcing security policies across wired and wireless infrastructure.

Network Sentry delivers comprehensive device discovery and classification capabilities that identify all connected endpoints. The platform automatically profiles devices based on behavior patterns and network fingerprints. Policy enforcement engines apply granular access controls based on device type, user credentials, and security posture assessments.

The solution features automated threat detection and response mechanisms that isolate compromised devices. Network Sentry integrates with existing security infrastructure including firewalls, SIEM platforms, and vulnerability management tools. Real-time monitoring capabilities provide visibility into network activity and security events across the entire infrastructure.

Bradford Networks distinguishes itself through simplified deployment models that minimize network disruption. The platform supports both agentless and agent-based monitoring approaches depending on organizational requirements. Scalable architecture accommodates environments ranging from small businesses to large enterprises with thousands of connected devices.

Healthcare organizations, educational institutions, and government agencies commonly deploy Network Sentry to meet compliance requirements. Manufacturing companies utilize the platform to secure operational technology (OT) networks and IoT device ecosystems. Financial services organizations leverage the solution for regulatory compliance and data protection initiatives.

The platform addresses modern network security challenges including BYOD policies, IoT proliferation, and hybrid work environments. Network Sentry provides centralized management for distributed network infrastructure while maintaining granular control over access permissions. Integration capabilities enable organizations to incorporate NAC functionality into existing security operations workflows.

Bradford Networks positions Network Sentry as an essential component of zero-trust security architectures. The solution complements endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools by providing network-level visibility and control. Organizations use the platform to establish secure network perimeters while enabling flexible access for legitimate users and devices.
