« How many laptops go missing? | Main | In search of a new security culture »
This month's SC magazine has some rather critical quotes of mine in a feature on Network Access Control. I'm not completely negative about it. It's a useful tool in the security manager's armoury, but it's still on an upward path and not quite the panacea it's sometimes claimed to be.

This is one of the better articles I have read outlining where NAC is today and where it is going, and your honest comments contribute to that.
As you and some others say, there is no proven business case for NAC. It is solving the wrong problem. NAC does nothing for control of business data flow (ie information-centric security) accept for endpoint devices acting as the crudest of proxies for users.

I agree with your points David, NAC isnt quite there yet, it needs more work and will never be the panacea that it was announced it was going to be.
I wrote about this on my blog recently. Feel free to have a read...
