Description:  Modern network, device, user, application and access dynamics challenges GRC assumptions and IT effectiveness. You’ve built-out process and controls to address overlapping compliance requisites. You’ve invested heavily in network and host-based security, systems management, SIEM and other security mechanisms. But new threats and state changes outpace IT capacity. How can you apply next gen Network Access Control (NAC) to gain the visibility and control required to close real-time security and compliance gaps and automate IT response? Join us for a 60-minute expert / practitioner session revealing:

- Common IT-GRC assumptions and exposures
- Modern NAC capabilities, integrations and applications
- Ways to quickly reduce access and endpoint integrity exposures
- Real-world NAC implementation, justification and implication

• Common endpoint compliance gaps
• NAC integration with host-based security and policy management systems
• Extending correlation rules to enable endpoint remediation
• How to create a closed-loop endpoint security and compliance program

According to some analysts, organizations can only account for half of devices on their network. With the influx of personal mobile devices and the drive to enable Bring Your Own Device policies, how can organizations manage the increased risks of data leakage, compliance and data privacy, and advanced persistent threats?

Network access control (NAC) technologies serve to provide real-time visibility and control of all users and systems attempting to access network resources via managed, unmanaged, wired and wireless devices.

Led by Senior Analyst Andy Kellet of Ovum Research, hear this expert and end-user panel expose key issues, considerations, plans and results with regard to modern-day NAC and NAC implementation. Hear Steve Orman, technical director from Sussex Health NHS, and Tony Whelton, director of IT services and development at Wellington College, share their insights regarding the potential roadblocks, hidden politics, new processes and lessons learned from opposite sides of the fence in terms of requirements, deployment and justification perspectives.

This webinar will:

• Help you understand where, how, why and when NAC can be proactively employed proactively to automate controls, identify endpoint violations, expedite remediation and enable post-connect defenses
• Examine the common pitfalls of NAC technologies and implementation from the perspective of two active end-users
• Educate listeners on the NAC process – from technology evaluation to deployment

• Endpoint security gaps, issues and trends
• Tools that can help you manage endpoint compliance more effectively
• Where NAC sits on the security tool landscape
• Best practices to automate GRC controls and eliminate endpoint security gaps
• Real-world experience using ForeScout CounterACT to manage endpoint compliance

• Tools to effectuate policies, regulate behaviors and manage risks across multiple device platforms;
• Strategies for containerization and layered security to protect devices, data and networks;
• Selecting the right options that can help to enforce and monitor policies in a cost-effective way.

• What is NAC, why NAC, why now
• What is the business value for the customer and service provider
• What are common NAC service, deployment and implementation options
• What are key SLA development and operational process consideration
• How to package NAC, price out the service and combine with other security service
