IWK Reports:

2008 NAC Survey
 
In our third annual overview of the network access control market, a slowing of sales combined with a vendor field poised for consolidation reveals that NAC is finally maturing from gee-whiz tech to a tool with well-understood parameters.

2008 NAC Survey

Not surprisingly, the glow and excitement that surrounded network access control in its formative years have largely dissipated. Early adopters—usually those who had to implement NAC to meet internal or external requirements for control and reporting—have deployed the technology and taken their knocks. Many of them shared their stories via our third annual InformationWeek NAC survey. In a nutshell, we found that adoption took these cutting-edge companies longer than expected, and what they're getting out of NAC is slightly different from what they had planned.
