The last moth has been very interesting, but not surprising. I have been commenting that 2008 would be a shake out year for NAC in which the real market leaders would emerge. ForeScout had a banner 2007 (80% sales growth) which has allowed us to expand our sales force by 30% in the first quarter.

NAC solves several enterprise business challenges, but the NAC product has to be able to be deployed quickly and provided value in days, not months. If the NAC product is designed to be a business enabler, then it is our belief that there will be customers and a market to support the technology.

The remainder of 2008 will be interesting, but I know that ForeScout will still be around and looking for innovative ways to tackle 2009 and beyond.
