24	CONFIGURING SODA ENDPOINT
	SECURITY FOR A WX SWITCH

	Sygate On-Demand (SODA) is an endpoint security solution that allows
	enterprises to enforce security policies on client devices without having to
	install any special software on the client machines. MSS can be
	configured to run SODA security checks on users’ machines as a
	requirement for gaining access to the network.
About SODA	The SODA endpoint security solution consists of six modules that provide
Endpoint Security	on-demand security:
	„ Virtual Desktop – Protects confidential data by virtualizing the
	desktop, applications, file-system, registry, printing, removable media,
	and copy/paste functions. All data is encrypted on-the-fly and can
	optionally be erased upon session termination. The virtual desktop is
	isolated from the normal desktop, protecting the session from
	previous infection.
	„ Host Integrity – Tests the security of the desktop to determine how
	much access to network resources the device should be granted. Host
	integrity checks include:
	„ Ensuring that an anti-virus product is running with up-to-date virus
	definitions
	„ Ensuring that a personal firewall is active
	„ Checking that service pack levels are met
	„ Ensuring that critical patches are installed
	Custom checks can be implemented based on the existence of specific
	registry keys/values, applications, files, or operating system platforms.
	Network access can also be prevented based on the existence of
	specific processes.
