Click here for the slide deck from the meeting. Topic: Network Access Control and your Network Security Strategy How safe is your network? How easy is it to get invited in to your office, plug a laptop in to any Ethernet jack, get an IP Address and launch an attack? Think that's far-fetched? Ask Hannaford Brothers, or Dave & Buster’s. On a modern day network, you need to protect yourself from the outside and know about every machine and every user on the inside. Network Access Control (NAC) can help keep your network secure by only allowing authorized systems to connect. It can do this through a variety of tactics. Come to this month's meeting to learn about techniques to keep your network safe, and keep your company’s name out of the front page news. John Sheedy, our guest speaker from Bradford Networks, will give an overview of access control solutions and approaches, and will talk about the emergence of adaptive network security to dynamically address today’s challenging threat environment. |
