Extreme Networks Data Sheet
Enterprise Integration
Framework
Sentriant AG includes the Enterprise
Integration Framework, an open architec-
ture that allows for the import and export
of data to and from Sentriant AG.
Integration allows Sentriant AG to share
endpoint security data with other IT
systems. It also allows third-party systems
to control Sentriant AG functions, such as
testing and quarantining.
Sharing Endpoint Compliance
Data
Sentriant AG can share endpoint data
with other enterprise security systems.
For example, Sentriant AG could be
integrated with your trouble ticketing
system. If a Sentriant AG test determines
an endpoint does not have a corporate-
approved personal firewall installed,
Sentriant AG Access could automatically
open a trouble ticket on the device.
Likewise, endpoint device and testing
data could be shared with patch manag
-
ers, Intrusion Detection/Prevention
System (IDS/IPS), vulnerability managers,
security information managers, third-
party reporting tools, and wide array of
other IT systems.
Acting on Input from Other
Systems
The Enterprise Integration Framework
also allows IT systems to initiate testing
and quarantining activities through
Sentriant AG. For example, if your IPS
detects attacks emanating from an
endpoint, it could instruct Sentriant AG
to immediately quarantine the device.
Integration leverages Sentriant AG
quarantining and testing capabilities and
the capabilities of the other security-
related systems on your network, thereby
providing enhanced security for the
network and improved productivity and
efficiency with the IT environment.

examples:
Network IPS detects attacks emanat-
ing from an endpoint and instructs
Sentriant AG to immediately quaran
-
tine the device.
Sentriant AG determines an endpoint
does not have a corporate-approved
personal firewall and automatically
opens a trouble ticket on the device
Benefits of the Enterprise Integration
Framework are that it improves security,
•
•
productivity, and efficiency with the IT
environment, leverages Sentriant AG
quarantining and testing capabilities and
leverages capabilities of the other security-
related systems on your network.
The Enterprise Integration Framework
allows third-party systems to control
Sentriant AG endpoint device testing and
quarantining functions. The Enterprise
Integration Framework also allows
endpoint compliance data to be exported
from Sentriant AG to other security
systems (see Figure 4).

Powerful Enterprise Integration
Sentriant AG leverages existing enterprise security systems by making it easy for endpoint compliance data to be shared
between the systems. Sentriant AG can also take input from other enterprise security systems which can be used to dictate if a
connection should be allowed or not.
