Increased Criminal Hacking Boosts World Network Access Control (NAC) Technologies Market
In recent years, the security community has identified a shift away from attacks done as a show of hacking prowess to much more criminal activities. What used to be a show of skill is now a lucrative black market. Compromised endpoints are the biggest threats to sensitive network systems and protecting these has long been top priority for network administrators.
"In addition, a Computer Security Institute (CSI)/FBI survey has drawn attention to the insider threat and has computed the financial losses caused by network-based attacks," notes the analyst of this research. "This is a statistic that gets the attention of key decision makers." High profile network security breaches that have occurred also throw light on problems that can be tackled by using NAC technologies.
Growth of Mobile Workforce and Devices Fuels Need for NAC Technologies
Mobile devices such as laptops, mobile phones, and PDAs are becoming increasingly common in enterprises. A mobile workforce with telecommuters, guests, and contractors all accessing the network also puts a strain on the security services. All these devices need to be monitored continually for compliance with security rules. A simple system of ensuring compliance and readmission is also needed by network managers to meet the varied requirements of all the people who now use an enterprise’s network.
Network managers are now becoming savvier about what they expect from security devices and this is where network access technologies score a point. They are flexible enough to accommodate a mobile workforce and can check for machine compliance more than once without being intrusive. "Whether intentionally or not, insiders pose the most serious threat to an organization’s sensitive data and crucial systems," notes the analyst. "As long as companies have remote employees, contractors, or guests on their networks, they will need a way to control who accesses what on their network." NAC technologies aim to meet precisely this need.
