Trusted Computing Group TNC Info:
Methodologies for controlling client system access to networks are beginning to leverage a number of established and emerging standards from IEEE 802 and the IETF including IEEE 802.1X, EAP and RADIUS, along with the efforts of the Trusted Computing Group and various vendors. New approaches allow you to control access to your vital IT infrastructure based on a wide variety of policy information including the identity of the device, the identity of the user and the current state of the device.
At Interop Las Vegas, the InteropLabs will explore the various NAC frameworks being developed, breakdown their key components, and provide a status on their maturity. Learn what you can deploy today while planning for the future within your business environment. Gain first-hand knowledge as experts develop, implement and test current and new solutions, in live vendor-neutral, standards-based arena.
Explore the InteropLabs with any Interop pass and attend free classes taught by InteropLabs engineers.
