Another Patent Born

Actually, birthing.  We've received a notice of allowance from the USPTO for our patent application around address resolution based restriction of devices post-admission to the network.  Ironically or no, this was pretty much the first patent the company filed; yet it remains extremely relevant.  I've written recently on the importance of post-admission controls, as well as the reasons and (some of the) methods of our ARP based approach to quarantine.  Our initial patent protects ARP based quarantine for the purposes of enforcing authentication of devices onto the network.  Once issued, this one will protect ARP based quarantine of devices as a result of threat detection at any time during the device's network lifecycle.

We're excited about this.  Two down, 8 more to go.
