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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]
