I picked up an interesting article on The Register today about Juniper’s new mobile client security software named Junos Pulse, which seems to implement the Trusted Computing Group’s Trusted Network Connect on a smartphone, with Microsoft Windows Mobile and Symbian OS listed as partners, and I wouldn’t be in the least surprised if RIM’s BlackBerry [...]

Once [...]

Rob Enderle recently posted to DarkReading about integrating physical and virtual security in the enterprise. He talks about the integration of physical security such as employee cards that get read on entrance and exit with the virtual security, so people who are not in the office cannot have other people use [...]

Neal Weinberg writing for NetworkWorld, named NAC (Network Access Control) as a hot technology for 2009. The article does seem a bit excessively pro-Microsoft with passages like this:
And because Network Access Protection (NAP, Microsoft’s version of NAC) comes with Vista and Windows Server 2008, deciding to go with Microsoft has become a no-brainer for many [...]
