WHO: Reginald P. Best, COO of AEP Networks, developers of high-performance, cost effective secure networking and identity-based access solutions WHAT: Will present a session on Network and Identity-Based Access Control titled "NAC: Is It Dead Yet?" WHEN: At the Secure IT 2009 Conference, which will be held Wednesday, March 4 through Friday, March 6, 2009 "NAC: Is It Dead Yet?" will take place on Friday, March 6 at 10:45 a.m. WHERE: Sheraton Gateway Hotel Los Angeles 6101 West Century Boulevard Los Angeles, Calif. DETAILS: When Network Access Control (NAC) hit the security scene, it was billed as a breakthrough in network security. It seemed so easy -- simply make sure laptop software and virus protection are up-to-date before letting mobile devices back onto the network. In practice, it is not that simple; plus, NAC doesn't protect networks from malicious users whose laptops are clean as a whistle. NAC is dead, or at least dying, and a new security model is already rising from NAC's ashes. Identity-Based Access Control (IBAC) adds 'identity' into the mix and restricts certain users from accessing entire portions of the network. IBAC is promising to take care of insider threats, not just dirty laptops. In this session, Reginald Best will discuss why NAC hasn't taken off as expected; compare and contrast NAC and IBAC; and weigh the pros and cons of IBAC.About AEP Networks AEP Networks offers an integrated portfolio of secure, high performance network and communications access solutions for enterprise and private sector organizations.
