Security Expert Jennifer Jabbusch Releases White Paper on Failure of Network Access Control (NAC) Technology
"Catching the Unicorn" white paper explores the failure and potential success of NAC technology.
CARY, NC, October 09, 2009 /Hardware PR News/ -- On September 19, 2009, Jennifer Jabbusch, network security engineer and CISO of Carolina Advanced Digital, Inc. (CAD), an engineering-focused VAR with specialization in IT network infrastructure, management and security solutions, released her latest white paper, Catching the Unicorn. This 36-page technical exploration of why network access control (NAC) is failing and how to redefine the technology for success is available as a free download in PDF format at www.cadinc.com and www.securityuncorked.com.
"There are a variety of reasons NAC has failed in its quest to become a mainstream technology," said Jabbusch. "This white paper reveals why NAC will not succeed as a niche market and explains how the industry can make it successful in the next eighteen months."
The vendor-neutral essay presents issues from several angles, offering a unique perspective into the NAC market and a comprehensive dive into the technical difficulties that are inhibiting NAC technologies from seeing widespread adoption. It also reveals a detailed plan to remedy the current situation with explicit calls to action for manufacturers, consumers and the industry as a whole.
"Tackling 'the NAC problem' with humor and savvy, Catching the Unicorn provides an achievable approach to navigating the minefield of NAC," commented Vikram Phatak, CTO of NSS Labs, a leading independent security product testing and certification organization. "Jabbusch manages to quickly instruct readers about how the NAC industry arrived at its current state and presents a rational vision for the future of the technology."
