Network Access Control 2007
Few topics have stirred up IT more than Network Access Control. The number and variety of devices (PCs, laptops, smartphones) and people (employees, partners, contractors, guests) connecting to the network is constantly increasing. And with every new connection, comes potential exposure to new threats.
Controlling this dynamic environment with network access control (NAC) solutions, however, introduces its own practical concerns. A fully executed network access system could require upgrades to almost every part of an enterprise’s networking infrastructure. How do enterprises balance the technical capabilities, performance requirements, and regulatory compliance issues to arrive at a fully executed system that makes the network – and the business – secure?
In Q1 of 2007, Current Analysis executed a comprehensive study of the technical, business, and operational issues that are influencing enterprise adoption of NAC solutions. The results provide vendors of network access control solutions detailed guidance to optimize strategic and tactical go-to-market planning.
