Podcast #44 - Panel on Pre and Post Connect NAC
It's a NAC-fest shoot out once again but of a different kind. This week we go off the reservation a bit by inviting two NAC competitors on our podcast; Michelle McLean from ConSentry Networks and Dominic Wilde from Nevis Networks. Alan and I bring the StillSecure perspective to the panel, and to keep things really interesting, well known analyst and pragmatic CSO specialist Mike Rothman of Security Incite joins in so we don't forget the real reason NAC is here - to solve the customer's problem.
It's a rousing discussion with each of us giving our best arguments why one versus another approach is what customers are looking for. Some might say we are CRAZY for bringing competitors onto the podcast, but hey, the discussion's happening in the marketplace so why not have that discussion here on our podcast. We talk about pre versus post connect NAC, pre plus post connect NAC, what role depth of testing plays in each, are post connect NAC watered down iPSs or do they solve a different problem, and the hype cycle that NAC is transitioning through.
The panel discussion is a little lengthy but like a good Jason Bourne move the action doesn't stop for anything. I hope you enjoy this podcast. We've done a lot of podcasts around NAC so we'll probably branch out into other areas next week.
Thanks for listening and please send your comments and questions to Alan and me at podcast@stillsecure.com.
