IF-Map is Facebook for endpoint devices

August 1st, 2010 at 03:51pm Under TNC

An interesting article on the Trusted Computing Group’s (TCG) Infrastructure-Metadata Access Point (IF-MAP) specification has the curious quote that I have used as the title for this article: "IF-Map is Facebook for endpoint devices," said Matt Webster, product management director at Lumeta and cochair of TCG’s Trusted Network Connect (TNC) workgroup, which developed the IF-MAP [...]

The official Trusted Computing Group blog recently announced that the certification program for Trusted Network Connect is now up and running.

NAC, virtualisation and cloud security

April 14th, 2010 at 03:57pm Under TNC

Network World recently published an article by Andreas M. Antonopoulos looking at how security works (or doesn’t) in the cloud. The basis will be NAC, Network Access Control, as: With NAC you have endpoints (laptops, smartphones, desktops, printers) connecting to switches ad-hoc and in a transient fashion. Security must be coordinated between the stuff that [...]

Cloud security and Trusted Computing

March 26th, 2010 at 05:08pm Under TNC

I am always a bit concerned that if I search the Trusted Computing Group’s web site for "cloud" nothing jumps out at me, so I was pleased to see a detailed analysis of cloud security on Cloud Computing Journal by Steve Hanna of Juniper and the TNC workgroup of the TCG. It’s a subject I [...]

Don’t expose your network to the risk of naked endpoints

March 24th, 2010 at 03:02pm Under TNC

SC Magazine recently published an interesting article regarding CESP, Clientless Endpoint Support Profile, a new schema from the TCG that standardises how to handle devices such as printers, VoIP phones, etc that don’t have a TNC (Trusted Network Connect) client stack on them. With this standardised schema, even dumb endpoints can be managed in a [...]

Juniper feels the mobile pulse

February 16th, 2010 at 03:44pm Under TNC

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 [...]
