Network
Access Control: Who's on First?
Speaker: Dr. Joel Snyder, senior partner, Opus One
The term NAC, network access control, has risen to the top of the
buzzword heap. In fact, every security vendor now has a "NAC
solution," even though there's little agreement on what NAC means
and some refer to NAC in a slightly different way. NAC touches on a
range of issues, like network security, policy enforcement, end
point security, and admissions control. In this session, Snyder
gives a vendor-neutral and hype-free presentation on what NAC can
and should mean, along with a roadmap on the most significant NAC
architectures.

2006 Update
on SSL VPNs: Security without Complexity
Speaker: Dr. Joel Snyder, senior partner, Opus One.
Secure remote access to corporate networks has emerged as an
absolute requirement for every group in an organization. Meanwhile,
IPsec remote access vendors have not kept up the pace to match
these requirements. SSL VPNs represent a new force in remote access
that is gaining increasing acceptance as a better and more
versatile way to solve the remote access puzzle. By relying on the
Web browser and providing a diverse set of solutions to different
remote access challenges, SSL VPN products are helping IT groups
meet the demand for secure access without compromising
security.

6 Steps to
Selecting the Right IPS
Speaker: Dr. Joel Snyder, senior partner, Opus One.
Network Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) can be extremely
effective pieces of your overall network security strategy.
However, the IPS marketplace is filled with products that all do
very different things and are suitable for very different
environments. Simply throwing any IPS into the network without
careful consideration can be a costly error, both in terms of
capital outlay and operational provisions. In this session you
learn six key steps to deciding on the right IPS for you.

Firewalls of
the Future? Understanding Unified Threat Management
Speaker: Dr. Joel Snyder, senior partner, Opus One.
The term Unified Threat Management (UTM) has as many meanings as
there are products that carry that label. At its core, UTM brings
together three main ideas: multiple security features, integrated
on the basis of a mature firewall, deployed in an appliance
form-factor. The intuitive appeal of UTM is obvious. Why should
businesses have two (or three or four) boxes performing separate
functions, when a single box will do? It sounds like UTM is a
no-brainer, but it's actually not right for every organization.
This session provides a strong understanding of UTM and shows you
where UTM can bring the greatest value.
