NAC solutions are all about enforcing pre-defined security policies on end points such as notebooks and other mobile devices trying to connect to corporate networks.
Slide Show: How The 3 Candidates Performed
In the words of one solution provider: "When you control the end point, you control access to the network."
While that common-sense approach sums up what solution providers need to do to build enterprise security, getting there requires VARs to understand how end points access the network and how policy management affects that access.
With that in mind, the CRN Test Center researched more than 15 offerings and then narrowed the field by focusing on software-based solutions that can help accelerate a solution provider's entry into the NAC market. The results netted three review candidates: InfoExpress Dynamic NAC, StillSecure Safe Access 5.0 and Symantec NAC 5.1.
Engineers evaluated the products based on deployment, feature set, integration capabilities, scalability and suitability to task.
