This post describes how the JW Secure StrongNet Secure Admin solution enables your business by protecting high-privilege network accounts, even on unmanaged mobile computers.
IT Security is a Business Enabler
The “bring your own device” trend allows employees to work when they want, how they want, and where they want. This flexibility increases the speed and quality of business decision making by making data more available. That in turn makes you more competitive and increases employee satisfaction. StrongNet supports BYOD by ensuring that user-managed devices are held to the same high-security standard as IT-managed devices.
Similarly, although a porous network perimeter makes IT security people nervous, the increased accessibility of enterprise computing assets has served to increase demand for those services and to decrease the cost of providing them. StrongNet blocks next-generation threats both on premise and in the cloud.
Finally, DevOps, or the combining of the roles of “software developer” and “IT operations,” has further increased the ability of IT to serve the business. By deploying new services to the cloud at a fraction of the time and cost, line of business software developers are increasing their strategic value. StrongNet is operations- and developer-friendly and stays in the background until a critical threat is detected.
As a revenue enabler, it is incumbent upon IT to protect the business against internal and external threats. Even in ideal circumstances, IT security has become a tough job in the face of well-funded, sophisticated adversaries. However, industry-wide underinvestment in defensive computer security technologies has made the problem harder than it should be. By relying on old standards such as static passwords and traditional antivirus, you are putting your business at risk.
StrongNet Changes the Game
The good news is that the IT security industry is responding to customers that want to protect their business data and revenue streams. There’s now a window of opportunity to jump ahead of the competition – the good guys as well as the bad guys – by protecting your high-value data assets using underutilized hardware security features present in most enterprise-class mobile devices.

StrongNet integrates secure remote attestation into your existing identity and access systems. This allows you to enforce high-assurance data protection and high-integrity mobile computing, even for sensitive accounts such as system administrators. Enable secure mobile computing by covering the bases:
- Continuously enforce security policy in hardware, firmware, and software
- Ensure that sensitive data is always encrypted, everywhere
- Enable strong authentication of users and computers
In short, StrongNet brings government-class, high-assurance endpoint security to the private sector.
Secret Sauce: Measurement Bound Keys
StrongNet Secure Admin uses patented Measurement Bound Keys to ensure that user and computer credentials are non-exportable and are only valid while the host is compliant with security policy. If the host’s defensive posture changes, then access to existing credentials is immediately lost.

Thus, StrongNet protects your IT assets against sophisticated attacks such as Pass the Hash, rootkits, and other advanced persistent threats.StrongNet even ensures that sensitive data and credentials residing on mobile devices stay protected while the device is disconnected or offline.
Interoperability with a range of identity standards, security protocols, and partner solutions ensures that StrongNet deploys seamlessly and has low total cost of ownership.
Information Technology is Strategic
Don’t forget that IT is a strategic asset. Your competitors know this, and well-funded adversaries such as nation-states know it, too, just as they know the value of enterprise data. Use StrongNet to protect the technology resources that make your business competitive.
