The Perfigo CleanMachines solution is a "shrink-wrapped" network admission control solution that recognizes users, their devices and roles; evaluates the security posture of the endpoint and scans for vulnerabilities; and enforces policy in the network. In particular, prior to allowing users onto the network, the Perfigo CleanMachine solution allows administrators to authenticate, authorize, interrogate and remediate users and their machines enforcing policy based access control on the network.
