Safe Access Lite is shaking the NAC market to its core by giving users immediate insight into the real value of NAC today!

During a heated podcast discussing the failure of Cisco in the NAC marketplace with network security experts Mitchell Ashely and Alan Shimel, my interest was piqued in Alan's Safe Access Lite FREE NAC Solution.

Since Cisco's NAC failure presents a dynamic opportunity for a nimble vendor to step in, yours truly presents Alan and his Safe Access Lite FREE NAC Solution:

"With Safe Access Lite, we’re trying to shake the NAC market to its core."

"NAC has gotten the reputation for being difficult to implement because it ties into the rest of the network infrastructure," said Alan Shimel - Chief Strategy Officer at StillSecure.

"Safe Access Lite addresses this challenge by giving users immediate insight into the real value of NAC today."

"It’s a real eye-opening experience to test your endpoints and see how out-of-date they really are."

"Safe Access Lite makes it easy for administrators to find out who is getting on their network and how safe it is for them to gain access."

"We think Safe Access Lite is a great first step for anyone looking to implement NAC."

"It lets them first put a program in place that will check what devices are coming on the network to determine their security posture."

"For those who are looking for no more than that, Safe Access is a no-cost solution that can be used for an unlimited period of time."

"What it does not offer is policy enforcement, so for those wanting to quarantine unsafe devices, it’s an easy upgrade to the commercial version."

Commercial Version Safe Access - Complete NAC

Based on both pre-connect testing and post-connect monitoring, Safe Access Commercial Version enforces security policies for managed and unmanaged endpoints belonging to LAN-connected users, remote users, contractors, visitors, and wireless users.

Alan continues, "StillSecure cautions network administrators and IT directors not to think they can just throw a switch and turn on NAC."

"Don’t make a decision until you’ve installed the product and run extensive tests."

"Safe Access Lite lets administrators get their feet wet by testing devices against a security policy."

"It all starts with passive endpoint testing and pre-rolling of security policies to get a handle on the status of your devices."

"This is the first phase when implementing a best practices approach to NAC."

"Only when administrators have a good handle on the testing process should they move on to the next phases – which include endpoint remediation, manual quarantining of unhealthy endpoints, and finally a full-blown roll-out of automated quarantining."

Where do you think Cisco went wrong in the NAC marketplace?
