NAC and the mobile worker

Vendors, of course, would like to close the gap between NAC interest and acquisition. To that end, Aruba Networks, a wireless switch manufacturer is talking up enhancements it has made to its NAC offerings, by specifically focusing on the security risks posed by mobile devices. The key to securing NAC acceptance with enterprises that field large numbers of mobile workers is taking an open approach to NAC. Aruba says that interoperability with third-party network access control solutions can reduce risks and address vulnerabilities, and hopefully stimulate NAC sales. Aruba has established interoperability with the three leading NAC solutions, including Microsoft's Network Access Protection (NAP), Juniper's Unified Access Control (UAC), and Cisco's Network Admission Control (NAC).
