Authored by Steve Piper (CISSP), an experienced information security author, consultant, analyst and speaker with more than 20 years of IT experience, this e-book provides an in-depth examination of next-gen NAC and how IT organizations can successfully reduce endpoint security risks while enabling BYOD initiatives, mitigating advanced threats and optimizing security resources and investments.
"Defending our infrastructure from cyberthreats is a never-ending battle. With so much emphasis placed on blocking threats, we sometimes forget that another necessary way to manage security risks is to reduce our networks' attack surface – the available security exposure that can be exploited," said Piper, co-founder and CEO of CyberEdge group. "Network access control has risen to new heights and has now become one of the faster-growing segments of the information security industry. This book provides the essential what, why and how's of next-gen NAC."
"We are pleased to sponsor this book, which serves as a pragmatic resource that demystifies next-gen NAC, provides a concise overview of NAC inner workings and offers guidance and use cases that best illustrate pertinent drivers, functionality and advanced capabilities," said Scott Gordon, chief marketing officer at ForeScout.
