Network access control solutions will be in the spotlight at Interop Las Vegas 2006, where Enterasys Networks, Vernier Networks and other vendors are slated to unveil NAC wares.
NAC technology ensures that all devices linked to a network are free of malware and comply with corporate security policies before they're allowed to connect, providing an effective and economical way to protect the corporate network.
To that end, Enterasys is rolling out Sentinel, a new NAC offering designed to prevent infected or unauthorized devices from gaining access to a company's network. The solution, part of the Andover, Mass.-based vendor's Secure Networks portfolio, works without deploying agents on clients, enabling it to screen both corporate and guest devices.
Sentinel includes the Trusted Access Gateway, an appliance that monitors the health of devices trying to get on the network, as well as the Trusted Access Manager, a tool for configuring and monitoring the gateway.
With the move to the cloud, CISOs must shift priorities from operating security programs to overseeing (monitoring and auditing) outsourced cybersecurity programs.
2022 was a boon year for IT salaries. 2023 came in like a beast with layoffs, raise freezes, and ChatGPT, but that beast has few teeth.
Age is only a number. Don't let a high number cancel your career.
