NAC is in the Details » (6pp)
Although there's a lot of confusion on the market about NAC (Network Access Control), this whitepaper provides insight into why a NAC solution is a critical component of your network security plan. By understanding the 3 main components of NAC — enforcement, testing, and integration — readers learn which methods are best for them depending on their network infrastructure. This paper simplifies NAC product strategies so you can make informed, confident decisions regarding NAC.

NAC: The Evolution of NAC and the Age of Complete NAC » (8pp)
No other technology in information security has generated as much interest, discussion, or requests during the past two years as network access control (or NAC). There are multiple reasons why NAC has become the latest solution in keeping our enterprises secure including the emergence of Complete NAC. This paper explores the concepts behind Complete NAC and what to consider in a network access solution.

PCI Compliance: A technology overview » (18pp)
The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard gives straight-forward direction on the technologies, policies and procedures needed to achieve compliance. However, compliance programs differ depending on an organization's size, function, and operational approach. This paper maps out PCI requirements and presents time- and money-saving practices, as well as an introduction to the StillSecure® suite of integrated network security products, which provides three of the PCI-required advanced security functions: network access control, vulnerability management, and intrusion detection/prevention.

Demystifying Network Access Control » (8pp)
This paper demystifies network access control. It examines the core security problems that gave rise to NAC technology. It addresses organization-specific factors that must be considered when evaluating solutions, and it covers the range of enforcement methods available to keep non-compliant devices from accessing the network.

When is agent-less not agent-less? Interpreting endpoint testing options for network access control » (4pp)
Network access control vendors are eager to claim that testing endpoints using an ActiveX control is an 'agent-less' or 'clientless' solution. In reality, ActiveX controls have many of the same administrative drawbacks of a persistent agent. This paper examines ActiveX testing and compares it to true agent-less testing, where no software need be installed on, or downloaded to the endpoints being tested.

Friendly fire: Protecting the network from its own endpoints » (5pp)
Describes how network attacks are increasingly leveraging internal endpoints to gain a foothold and propagate. Endpoint security is no longer a matter of protecting the endpoint itself; it’s now about protecting the entire network from the attacks introduced through compromised endpoints.
