SC Magazine recently published a piece from Jon Green of Aruba Networks on how Wi-Fi and NAC (Network Access Control) fit together. His opinion is that the two together make a whole lot of sense for maintaining security in the enterprise, especially as Wi-Fi is becoming more cost-effective than traditional wired solutions in the office. [...]

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 [...]

In reply to Chris Hoff’s recent post, covered on this blog here, Steve Hanna of Juniper talked about The Adoption Curve for IF-MAP, the Trusted Computing Group’s standard protocol for connected security. He talks about how adoption follows classic adoption cycles: first the innovators get going, followed by early adopters, early majority, late majority, and [...]

Mike Fratto had an interesting post on the InformationWeek blog recently, where he described how it’s all very well for companies to have ticked the box in the feature set that says “Supports TNC” (that’s Trusted Network Connect from the Trusted Computing Group), but apparently some of these people are not actually shipping the code, [...]

Network World recently published a story mentioning the presence of the TCG resources page that I have covered recently, but two tangental parts of the article caught my eye: While TPM has been shipped in thousands and thousands of PCs Make that millions and millions! Then, there was the reason that I don’t mention who [...]

This question, what is the Interface for Metadata Access Point (IF-MAP) standard from the Trusted Computing Group’s Trusted Network Connect workgroup? A recent article on Computer Technology Review tried to answer this question. After providing a fictional scenario where IF-MAP can help diagnose network anomalies, the article discusses why the existing Network Access (or Admission, [...]

Steve Hanna on his Got the NAC blog recently posted about his experience on the NAC Panel at Interop on the 23rd of September. As mentioned in an earlier post, standards, or more specifically the slow take-up of standards by certain parties (Cisco is apparently a key offender in this respect), is a source of [...]
