I am not sure what it is with Richard Stiennon. Maybe his mom beat him with a NAC stick when he was young. Hence his Jack Nicholson looks (more like the Joker in Batman, than Col Jessep in A Few Good Men) and his total disdain for NAC. In any event Richard never seems to miss a chance to take a pot shot at NAC.

For a long time I have been writing and speaking about the many ways that NAC can help with securing your endpoints and your network. Yesterday, Tim Greene lays out some good reasons for NAC and the many ways it can help. However, he couches it in terms of NAC as a personal firewall.

Sir Lancelot or Guinevere? Hey don't laugh it could happen to you. In the meantime what has Richard so hot and bothered that he is subscribing mythical qualities to Rohati? It seems they are using a layer 4 to 7 firewall to control access to applications. They call it network based entitlement control.

Nothing to see here folks. Move along... This is like a bad episode of "Groundhog Day" meets "Back To the Future." You know, when you wake every day to the same daymare where one person's touting that features like NAC are the next flux capacitor while another compares its utility to that of sandpaper in the toilet paper dispensers in a truck stop restroom?
