Catbird introduces the new Pocket V-Agent

The comprehensive security you have come to expect from Catbird – in your pocket!

Catbird’s Network Access Control (NAC) has now achieved an even greater level of convenience. Simply connect the Pocket V-Agent into any PC and turn it into a certified virtual security appliance capable of network monitoring for security assessment, inspection, and data protection.

Vulnerability Monitoring, Policy Management, Rogue Device Protection, IPS/IDS – security for your whole network via a pocket-sized USB thumb-drive.

The Pocket V-Agent is ideal for security consultants, auditors and managed security providers – anyone for whom expensive, cumbersome security appliances don’t measure up.
